Once built, one call from your code
Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get orders” would look like.
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"method": "www.faire.com/get_orders",
"input": {
"placed_since": "2026-10-01",
"status": null
}
}'
{
"status": "completed",
"data": {
"orders": [
{
"brand": "Northwind Candle Co.",
"order_date": "2026-11-03",
"status": "Shipped",
"expected_ship_date": "2026-11-07",
"tracking_number": "1Z999AA10123456784",
"items": 6,

}
],

}
}
An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Signing in to Faire
Your Faire retailer account has its own password, and every team member on the account can read its conversations with brands. With Fous you sign in once through Faire's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.
Worth knowing
- An expected ship date means the brand accepted
- You can cancel within 24 hours only while no expected ship date shows. After that you request a cancellation, and the brand has 2 days to answer before it is declined.
- On hold can mean your approval is needed
- An order shows On hold while a first order's account check runs, or when the brand asks for a shipping cost adjustment that you must review and approve.
- Payment is taken at shipping
- Faire collects payment when an order ships, by the payment terms on that order, such as 60-day terms or payment on shipment. Orders a brand does not accept within 30 days are canceled.
- Free returns cover a first order only
- Only your first order with each brand can be returned free, typically within 60 days. The return window for each eligible order is shown in your account.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, for brands and integration partners. Faire's External API manages a brand's products, orders and inventory through an OAuth app registered in the Faire Developer Portal. Retailers get a point of sale integration that imports ordered products into their POS, and read order status, tracking and returns in the site.
Open the order on your Orders page and choose Track Package. Each brand ships its own orders and adds the tracking number, and Faire also emails you the tracking link when the order ships.
You can request a cancellation from the Orders page, with a reason and an optional note. The brand has 2 days to accept or decline, and an unanswered request is declined. An order that has shipped can no longer be canceled.
No. A Faire account can be connected to one POS system at a time. The integration imports the products you order on Faire and keeps inventory counts synced for linked products.
No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Faire account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
