FetchApp report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for automatic file and licence-key delivery after payment
FetchApp delivers files and licence keys after a sale made somewhere else, such as Shopify or PayPal. It does not do checkout, the free plan holds 5 MB, and the price rises with stored files.
Who FetchApp is for
- Fits if you sell on Shopify or PayPal and want automatic file delivery
- Works for sellers with large catalogues who would rather pay by storage than by sale
Who FetchApp is not for
- Tight if you stay free, since Hobby holds 5 MB and has no API
- Watch out: billing follows stored files, so a growing library moves you to a dearer tier
- Watch out: the WooCommerce plugin is third-party and last released in February 2023, and BigCommerce is for existing accounts only
Why FetchApp gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStarter is $5 a month, inside the cheapest quarter of digital-product tools ($10), but it holds only 50 MB. 2 GB costs $10.
- CFree plan and trialA free Hobby plan exists, but it holds 5 MB and has no API access, so it is for trying only.
- DFeaturesIt delivers files only: checkout, payments and tax come from a store or PayPal you connect, so it needs another product to be useful.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You connect a store and set up delivery rules.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Shopify, PayPal, WooCommerce, Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2 listed, and an API and webhooks on paid plans.

Keep FetchApp, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace FetchApp you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 28 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products grade higher. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, PayPal and WooCommerce among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. FetchApp’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is FetchApp?
FetchApp delivers digital downloads and license keys after an order is paid in a store you already run, such as Shopify or a PayPal button. It is not a checkout of its own. Pricing follows the amount of file storage used, with no commission or per-order fee.
Worth knowing
- It delivers files only: checkout, payments and tax come from the store or PayPal setup you connect.
- The free Hobby plan holds 5 MB and has no API access.
- The WooCommerce plugin is third-party, last released 2023-02-28, and BigCommerce is open to existing accounts only.
- Billing follows stored files, so a growing library moves you to a higher monthly tier.
Key features
- Delivery after payment
- When your store reports an order as paid, FetchApp emails the download links and any license keys to the buyer.
- License keys
- A key can be sent with each purchase. License keys are included on every paid plan, with no per-key charge.
- Expiring links and limits
- Business plans add expiring download links and download limits, and orders can be searched so links can be resent.
- Shopify and PayPal connections
- A Shopify app and PayPal buy-button setup are maintained by FetchApp. A WooCommerce plugin is community-made.
- Own storage
- From the Business tier you can host files in your own S3 or Cloudflare R2 storage and give FetchApp their links.
- API and webhooks
- A REST API lets a developer connect any checkout so that paid orders trigger delivery.
