The Faire Source promise is colliding with a checkout total that changes late.
Retailers need confidence in the final order while participating brands need shipping costs represented accurately.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I had a retailer ready to place a mixed order, then they sent me a screenshot asking why the total changed.”

What is at stake
You need affected shared carts to reach 85% completion within four weeks. You must weigh a clearer final total for retailers against accurate shipping economics for participating brands.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- checkout confidence vs. shipping-cost accuracy
- small-order growth vs. fulfillment economics
- retailer clarity vs. program eligibility
- fast release vs. consistent brand messaging
Why Faire
Faire Source depends on a shared cart and universal free shipping to make small mixed-brand orders worthwhile for participating brands.
