Faire offers POS integrations for Shopify, Square, Clover and Lightspeed Retail X-Series. The useful starting point is product linking: match a Faire purchase to an existing POS item or create a new item deliberately. Then decide which workflow will record the delivery.

Faire's current integration guide documents automated inventory additions for linked Shopify, Square and Clover products at delivery. It describes a 30-minute refresh and one selected location for automatic counts in multi-location Shopify and Square setups. Confirm the settings for your connection before enabling them.

Set up product links before the delivery

Open Faire's POS integration area and inspect the order's products. For an existing SKU, link the correct POS item instead of creating a duplicate. For a new SKU, review its name, variant structure, selling unit, barcode and price before adding it to the catalog.

Fields vary by POS. A successful name-and-image import does not prove that the cost, tax setting, barcode or variant mapping is correct. Inspect a representative item in both systems and retain its identifiers in your setup notes.

Faire documents that automatic count updates do not trigger for unlinked products or for products delivered before they were linked. If a delivery did not update stock, check linking time before attempting to reconnect the entire integration.

Decide who owns receiving

Choose one of two operating paths for each delivery:

PathTeam responsibility
Faire's supported automatic count update

Read before ordering

A dense operator briefing for teams that need sharper buying, cleaner supplier follow-up, and fewer expensive surprises.

Verify the delivered quantity and correct discrepancies through an agreed process
Your receiving workflow updates stockKeep automatic additions from duplicating the same receipt

A carrier marking a shipment delivered does not prove every item is usable. Count the boxes, inspect damage and compare the purchase unit with the sellable unit. Document any correction so a later employee understands why the POS quantity differs from the original order.

For Lightspeed X-Series, the general Faire guide lists product fields but does not establish the same automatic receiving behavior as its Shopify/Square/Clover setting. Confirm the exact receiving path in your Lightspeed connection. An undocumented field is a question to verify, not proof that the product lacks it.

Diagnose an incorrect quantity

Work through one affected item:

  1. Identity: is it linked to the correct product and variant?
  2. Timing: was it linked before delivery, and has the documented refresh interval elapsed?
  3. Setting: is automatic inventory updating enabled for this supported connection?
  4. Destination: is the stock at the selected location rather than another store?
  5. Units: did three cases of four become 12 units, or was a case treated as a unit?
  6. Duplicate receipt: did staff or another application also add the delivery?

Record the observed changes and timestamps before adjusting stock. Correct the cause and the quantity together, so the next delivery does not repeat the error.

Respect the integration boundary

Faire documents one POS connection per Faire account and no retailer API keys or custom retailer API integrations. Do not assume that a tool's Faire supplier integration also imports a retailer's marketplace purchases.

Faire's own product announcement describes POS data informing recommendations, so it would also be inaccurate to say Faire never uses sales information or offers buying guidance. The separate question is how your team coordinates orders from suppliers outside Faire. Faire's Lightspeed integration announcement.

Coordinate the rest of purchasing

Keep Faire marketplace orders and claims in their supported workflow. For direct suppliers, LineNow's purchasing workflow connects orders, reviewable supplier email changes and receiving context. Scope how a marketplace order is represented before promising a single automatically synchronized record across both systems.

For any proposed setup, show the stock update and the bill handoff separately. One successful inventory addition does not establish correct vendor mapping, invoice quantities or accounting treatment. The Faire purchasing guide provides a worksheet for mixed supplier channels.
