# 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.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Templates**</mark>

The steps to create a template are available [HERE](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/marketplace-integration/app-features/templates-and-template-rules#templates). This section explains each type of template used on Faire.

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Title & Description Template**</mark>

The template follows the LitCommerce Title & Description Template general structure. Check out [this article](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/marketplace-integration/app-features/templates-and-template-rules/title-and-description-template) for more details.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Faire does not support HTML tags in listing descriptions.**
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Price Template**</mark>

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

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Retail Price**</mark>

* **Price Adjustment** and **Price Rounding**: Follow the basic [Price Rules Options](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/marketplace-integration/setup-and-navigation/step-by-step-setup/step-3-set-up-price-sync-options#price-rules).

{% endhint %}

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

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Wholesale Price**</mark>

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

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Faire requires wholesale prices to fall within 10% - 80% of the retail price as per** [**this article**](https://www.faire.com/support/articles/360006829831?section=6)**.**&#x20;

* **Applying the Price Template will override the price rules in the** [**Channel Settings**](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/marketplace-integration/supported-platforms/faire/faire-channel-settings#pricing)**.**
  {% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Shipping Template**</mark>

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.

### <mark style="color:$info;">**Category Template**</mark>

You can find the following main sections in this template.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Primary Category**</mark>

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

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Pre Order**</mark>

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.

<figure><img src="/files/Q37M3avBhWaEzrAt2Hz8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **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.

<figure><img src="/files/hF4IvRMLNK1nw03Azrbe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Check the `Continue selling after the start ship date` to make the listings available on Faire even when preorders start delivering.**
{% endhint %}

#### <mark style="color:blue;">**Selling method**</mark>

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.

<figure><img src="/files/riQtafN1VBJiU3GAMU0Q" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **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.

<figure><img src="/files/fGIc7sNRta07gtroiAYa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Minimum Order Quantity options vary depending on the value you enter for Case Size.**
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Template Rules**</mark>

The Faire Template Rules follow the same instructions as the [Template Rule](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/marketplace-integration/app-features/templates-and-template-rules#template-rules).

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.
