How long does the initial import take?
The time required depends on the number of products on your website. Most imports complete within 5 minutes.
Which product details are imported?
Catalog Connect can import product titles, descriptions, images, variants, and prices from your website into your Faire shop.
If I make a change to product details on my website, will those changes appear in Faire?
No. Catalog Connect does not support ongoing updates from your website to Faire. If you change product details on your website after the import, you’ll need to manually update the product listing in Faire.
What happens if I change product information on Faire?
Catalog Connect is a one-way import from your website into Faire. Changes you make in Faire will not affect your website.
Why are some products missing after import?
If Catalog Connect cannot gather enough information from a product listing to meet Faire’s requirements, that product will not be imported. You can manually add any missing products directly in Faire.
Can I connect multiple websites?
No. At this time, Catalog Connect supports a 1:1 connection between your Faire shop and a single website. If you have another website with different products, we recommend creating an additional Faire shop for those products.
