Should I offer Faire Pay Now?

Brands search this when Faire offers a brand-funded extra percent so retailers pay immediately instead of Net terms. Next-day payout is a different fee: you pay Faire more processing so your remittance arrives sooner. Generic 2/10 Net 30 is a third path — it has no marketplace commission on the discounted subtotal. This page is not next-day payout and not Faire Direct.

On the default $20 × 10 first order, skipping a 2% Pay Now discount keeps $69.16 after 60-day remittance and 24% money. Offering it at a 40% take-rate keeps $67.88 (−$1.28). Everyone taking it keeps $65.96. The 2% matches if Pay Now remittance falls to about 31.0 days or extra first orders rise to about 0.02. One extra first order flips the offer to $133.85 (+$64.69). A 1-day remittance flips everyone-takes to $72.47 (+$3.31). Mixed take at that 1-day remittance keeps $70.48.

Pay Now path Pay Now % Remit days Pay Now leftover vs Net terms

Leftover is first-order profit minus modeled carrying cost on the Faire payout for the remittance days you type. Pay Now is an extra percent stacked on your opening discount so the listing promo cannot hide the early-pay cost. Extra first orders are a count you type, not a forecast that the discount will produce them. Complementary to next-day payout (processing you pay Faire) and to generic 2/10 Net 30 (no marketplace commission). Paste remittance days from your payout summary. This page does not publish Faire’s live Pay Now schedule.

The calculator is arithmetic, not advice. It does not recommend turning Pay Now on, raising the discount, or skipping it.
