How to create Faire Templates & Template Rules

To bulk edit multiple listings with similar attributes, you can create and apply Templates and Template Rules. This will automatically populate a predefined format of listing attributes.

This article walks you through creating Faire Templates and Template Rules. More details can be found below.

Templates

The steps to create a template are available HERE. This section explains each type of template used on Faire.

Title & Description Template

The template follows the LitCommerce Title & Description Template general structure. Check out this article for more details.

Faire does not support HTML tags in listing descriptions.

Price Template

This template features two main sections: Retail Price and Wholesale Price to modify and update Faire listings’ prices based on the Main Store products.

Retail Price

• Price Adjustment and Price Rounding: Follow the basic Price Rules Options.

Use the Price Preview tool to review how the configured price rules take effect.

• Price override: Manually select a Main Store Attribute from All Products or enter a numeric value to display.

Wholesale Price

• Price and Price Rounding: Set the percentage or fixed amount by which the wholesale price will be reduced from the retail price.

• Price override: Manually select a Main Store Attribute from All Products or enter a numeric value to display.

• Faire requires wholesale prices to fall within 10% - 80% of the retail price as per this article.

• Applying the Price Template will override the price rules in the Channel Settings.

Shipping Template

Set up shipping information for bulk listings using this template. It includes:

• Distance Unit: Select a suitable dimension unit from the available ones.

• Weight Unit: Select a suitable weight unit from the available ones.

• Weight and Dimensions: Enter a fixed value in each field or use Select Attribute to map the corresponding Main Store attribute for automatic data entry.

Category Template

You can find the following main sections in this template.

Primary Category

Search using keywords and assign a Primary Category from Faire’s available options.

Pre Order

Set your listing’s availability by selecting one of the following options:

• In stock and ready to ship: Specify that your listings are currently available and can be fulfilled immediately within the usual processing timeframe.

• Preorder for future delivery: Specify that your listings are currently not in stock and available for immediate shipment, while still allowing buyers to place advance orders for later fulfillment.

You can use the Start Ship Date (the earliest date preorder items can be shipped) and End Ship Date (the latest date all preorder items must be shipped) to define the shipping timeframe buyers should expect.

Check the Continue selling after the start ship date to make the listings available on Faire even when preorders start delivering.

Selling method

Indicate which method you would like to sell your listings on Faire. The following methods are available:

• By the item: Listings are sold as individual units on the marketplace. You must define the Minimum Order Quantity, indicating the lowest number of units a buyer can order.

• By the case: Listings are sold in pre-packaged sets (cases). Use Case Size to specify the number of units in each case, and use Minimum Order Quantity to set a minimum purchase threshold.

Minimum Order Quantity options vary depending on the value you enter for Case Size.

Template Rules

The Faire Template Rules follow the same instructions as the Template Rule.

By following these steps, you can create and manage the templates and template rules on the LitCommerce Faire channel to help ensure your listings are completed and properly structured.
