## About

Many of our customers sell on Faire and successfully track their sales, inventory, and COGS using our platform.

While Finaloop doesn’t have a direct integration with Faire, we’ll explain how Finaloop syncs your Faire data in two common scenarios:

1. When Faire **is connected** to Shopify
2. When Faire is **not connected** to Shopify

Each setup works a bit differently, so we’ll walk through how your **sales and COGS** are handled in both cases.

# 1. Scenario 1: When Faire is connected to Shopify

Many brands connect Faire to Shopify using an app or direct integration. In this case, Finaloop syncs data from Shopify, and we offer **granular control** over which parts of Faire’s data to include in your books.

## How it works

In your Finaloop settings, you have flexibility on whether we should include sales, COGS, both, or neither for Faire orders synced through Shopify.

Here are the **available sync statuses**:

|     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Status** | **Includes sales?** | **Includes COGS?** |
| Included | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Excluded | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| COGS only | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Sales only | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |

You can **view** the status of Faire by:

1. Going to **Customers > Orders**
2. Clicking the **Settings** tab
3. Clicking the **Sales Channels** tab

You should be able to see the status of Faire listed. If you want to change a status, just reach out to our team and we're happy to help!

## Sales

### If set to "Included" or "Sales only":
- You can view your orders on the [Orders](https://home.finaloop.com/orders/branded-stores) page.
- Finaloop will sync Faire orders from Shopify on an **order-by-order basis**.
- Sales will appear in your P&L as: “Sales - Faire (via Shopify)”.
- Shipping income and discounts will also be included.

### If set to "Excluded" or "COGS only":
- We’ll **skip** syncing Faire orders from Shopify.
- Instead, we’ll use **bank payouts** to recognize sales by categorizing the net Faire payouts into sales.
- This ensures there is no overinflation / double counting of sales.

## COGS

### If set to "Included" or "COGS only":
- Finaloop syncs the sales quantity from Shopify to calculate the COGS.
- We’ll automatically calculate real-time COGS per order.

### If set to "Sales only" or "Excluded":
- You’ll need to manually enter COGS.

# 2. Scenario 2: When Faire is not connected to Shopify

## How it works

If you don’t connect Faire to Shopify, Finaloop still tracks your Faire sales using your **bank transactions**.

## Sales

If Faire is not connected to Shopify, we'll recognize your Faire sales based on the [Bank Transactions](https://home.finaloop.com/transactions) by categorizing the net Faire payouts into sales without the breakdown of the expenses, i.e. on a net basis.

The net impact on the P&L report is the same so it is up-to-date, 100% accurate, and ready for taxes.

## COGS

How your COGS are handled depends on your [COGS setup](https://help.finaloop.com/en/articles/9543974-how-to-choose-your-cogs-tracking-method-in-finaloop).

### [Purchase-based COGS](https://help.finaloop.com/en/articles/9570599-purchase-based-cogs-everything-you-need-to-know)

No action needed. We calculate your COGS from your inventory bills and payments.

### [Sales-based COGS](https://help.finaloop.com/en/articles/9419220-sales-based-cogs-everything-you-need-to-know)

You’ll need to **manually enter the COGS** either by sales channel or by SKU.

### [InventoryIQ](https://help.finaloop.com/en/articles/9813151-inventory-iq-everything-you-need-to-know)

You’ll need to **manually enter the COGS** by SKU.

---

**>Manually entering COGS**

You can manually enter COGS by sales channel (sales-based COGS only) or by SKU/ product (both sales-based COGS and InventoryIQ (unit-based COGS)).

### To enter COGS by sales channel (sales-based only)

1. Go to **Inventory**
2. Click on the **[COGS](https://home.finaloop.com/inventory/COGS?from=2024-01-01&to=2024-12-31)** tab at the top
3. Select **Report per channel**
4. Enter the COGS for the Faire sales

### To enter COGS by SKU/product (Sales-based or InventoryIQ)
- Enter the COGS by SKU/product and Finaloop will calculate COGS automatically by multiplying the number of units sold x cost per unit.

1. Go to **Inventory**
2. Go to your **[Products](https://home.finaloop.com/inventory/products?from=2024-01-01&to=2024-12-31)** page
3. Click the product sold on Faire
4. Inside the product page, click the **COGS tab**, then **+ Add to COGS**
5. Select **Sales channel**
6. Choose “Faire” from the dropdown
7. Click the **edit icon (✏️)** to enter fulfilled/restocked unit

Alternatively, you can also **bulk upload** units sold on Faire on the Products page, click **Actions > Bulk unit edit.**
