How to Connect PayPal to Foldr
Create an inbound webhook in PayPal
In PayPal's webhook / automation settings, add a new webhook that fires on the event you care about.
Point the webhook at Foldr
Use https://foldr.space/api/v1/webhooks/ingest?token=<your-foldr-webhook-token> — Foldr accepts JSON bodies and deduplicates by source ID.

PayPal + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to PayPal?
You connect Foldr to PayPal via Webhook. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the Webhook integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map PayPal's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use PayPal with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with PayPal — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from PayPal?
From PayPal you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for PayPal?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with PayPal through Webhook, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
