FAQ
Get clear answers about partnering with PARE — from process to pricing.
What kind of brands do you work with?
01
Consumer brands selling wholesale and DTC — CPG like beauty, food, and personal care, plus home, gift, and stationery brands. If you sell on Faire, Cin7, or Shopify, we can help.
Is it just you, or a whole team?
02
You work directly with the person who builds and installs your automation, start to finish. That’s the point: it’s faster, it’s tailored to your brand, and you always talk to the person who actually knows your system.
What order volume makes this worth it?
03
It’s priced on the orders you process, not your revenue, so the savings track your order count. If a channel is creating hours of manual order entry, tracking, or reconciliation every week, it’s usually worth automating — whatever that channel’s dollar size.
Faire, Cin7, and Shopify each show a different number. Can you fix that?
04
Yes — this is the heart of what we do. We make one system your source of truth and sync the others into it automatically, so Faire, Cin7, and your books finally agree, down to the penny.
Will you help map our QuickBooks accounts too?
05
Yes. The hard part usually isn’t the sync, it’s making sure commissions, fees, shipping, and taxes land in the right accounts. We walk you through the account setup so your books reconcile cleanly from day one.
Will it work with the tools we already use?
06
Yes. We work inside the tools you already run — Faire, Cin7, Shopify, ShopMy, ShipHero, and QuickBooks. Nothing new to learn, nothing to migrate. New tool in your stack? We build around it.
How long does it take to go live?
07
Most installs go live in days, not months, because the automations are already proven. Our second Faire to Cin7 install went from credentials to production in about three business days. A brand-new build takes a few weeks.
How much does it cost?
08
Pricing is value-based: a one-time install plus an optional monthly subscription, sized to the time and money the automation saves you. We scope it clearly before any work begins.
Do you do one-time builds or ongoing support?
09
Both. We Build or Install the automation, then an optional Subscription keeps it running and adds to it as you bring on new channels, tools, and volume. We stay on it — we don’t hand it off and disappear.
How much work is it on our end?
10
Very little — usually under an hour. You give us access to the relevant tools and confirm a few details; we handle the rest and check every order ourselves for the first stretch after launch.
What if our SKUs or data are messy?
11
That’s expected. We run a check up front to flag SKU and data mismatches before go-live, so the sync works from the first order instead of breaking on edge cases.
Do I need to be technical?
12
Not at all. You don’t need to know the tools — that’s our job. We design around how your team already works and hand you something simple to run from day one.
Where does the AI come in?
13
We use AI for the parts that need speed and consistency, not judgment: parsing orders, matching SKUs, drafting reports, and flagging what’s stuck. Practical and behind the scenes — not a chatbot.
Why not just use Faire’s built-in Shopify integration?
14
Routing wholesale orders through Shopify muddies your COGS, taxes, and reporting. We sync Faire straight into Cin7 instead, so each channel stays clean and the numbers you report stay trustworthy.
When can we switch over without breaking live orders?
15
Whenever works for you. The automations are proven, so we can cut over mid-month and watch every order closely as it goes live — nothing breaks, and nothing gets missed.
