Get paid back through your payment apps
Folko does not handle money. It shows Members how to pay you in the app you already use, and opens it or copies the details for them.
How to do it
- Open Profile → Payments → Receive.
- Tap a payment method and fill in your handle, key or account details.
- Members who owe you now see it under Pay via on their Balances.
(My accounts, the other tab, is for Paid with: the cards and accounts you spend from.)
What happens when someone pays you
UPI, PayPal (with a PayPal.me handle) and Wise (with a Wisetag) open with your details and the amount filled in. Venmo and Cash App open with your details, and fill in the amount only for balances in US dollars. Revolut opens your profile.
Pix copies a Copia e Cola code to paste in the bank app. Mercado Pago copies your alias, then opens the app. Zelle, Interac, SEPA, Bizum, Paytm, M-PESA, WeChat Pay, Alipay, USDT and bank transfer copy your details. Lightning opens a payment sheet.
All 19: Pix, UPI, Paytm, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Mercado Pago, PayPal, SEPA, Bizum, Interac, Wise, Revolut, WeChat Pay, Alipay, M-PESA, Bank transfer, Lightning and USDT.
Power-user tips
- Add more than one; the person paying picks.
- For PayPal and Wise, add your PayPal.me handle or Wisetag. With only an email saved, Folko copies the email.
- Removing a method hides it from the Members of your shared cashbooks.
Payment apps are free on every plan, except Lightning, which needs Max.
