> ## Best wholesale marketplaces for retail shops
> 
> **1. Faire - start here for almost any indie/boutique shop.** It's the default for a reason: ~100k brands, net-60 payment terms at 0% interest, and free returns on your *opening order* with every new brand within 60 days. That combination means you can test a brand with essentially no downside - you sell it before you pay for it, and send back what doesn't move. Minimums are set per brand, typically $100-$300. If you only sign up for one, it's this. ([multisellr.com](https://multisellr.com/blog/faire-for-retailers-complete-guide), [hopfar.com](https://hopfar.com/faire-review-2026/))
> 
> **2. Abound - best second account alongside Faire.** Very similar model (flexible net terms, low MOQs, brand-set minimums around $100-$250) but a differently curated brand mix skewed toward gift, home, and trend categories. Worth having because the overlap with Faire is partial - you'll find brands here you can't get there. ([usetorg.com](https://usetorg.com/blog/websites-like-faire))
> 
> **3. Orderchamp or Creoate - if you're in Europe/UK or want European brands.** Orderchamp has ~150k retailers and 1.3M+ products; Creoate is London-based with a sustainabi
