What is a Certificate of Insurance, and why is it required for Faire+?


In this guide


A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document from your insurance provider that shows you have active liability coverage.

Large retail partners require all vendors to carry liability insurance before placing orders. Uploading a COI allows you to meet this requirement and sell to these retailers through Faire+.

For questions about your current liability coverage, we recommend you contact your insurance provide for assistance.


What if my insurance coverage is below $2M?

Most large retailers require at least $2M in liability coverage.

If your current policy is below this amount, you can ask your insurance provider to:

  • Increase your coverage limit, or
  • Add a coverage rider to your existing policy.

Your provider can then issue an updated Certificate of Insurance that meets the requirement.


How do I add Faire as an additional insured?

You can ask your insurance provider to list “Faire Wholesale, Inc.” as an additional insured on your Certificate of Insurance.

Your provider will update the certificate and send you a revised version that you can upload to your account.


What file types can I upload for my Certificate of Insurance?

You can upload your Certificate of Insurance in any of the following formats:

  • PDF
  • JPG
  • PNG

Photos and scans are accepted as long as the document is clear and readable.
