Where is Faire registered as a marketplace facilitator?


In this guide


What is a Marketplace Facilitator?

A Marketplace Facilitator is a business that operates an online or physical marketplace where sellers can sell goods or services. Faire is deemed to be a marketplace facilitator for sales facilitated through our platform based on applicable state and local laws.

As a result, the applicable sales tax obligations for transactions on our platform shift from Brands to Faire, based on applicable state laws. These sales tax obligations include:

  • The collection of resale certificates from retailers.
  • Reporting sales that take place on our platform.
  • Collecting / remitting sales tax (if required).

You can find more details in our Brand Terms of Service.
