The automated catalog maker for companies with thousands of products.
Foldsquare is an automated catalog maker for wholesale and retail. It turns your product data into print-ready PDF catalogs, price lists and line sheets, with the spec tables your buyers look up. Connect your store or import a CSV or Excel file and it stays in sync. Build by hand, ask the built-in assistant, or drive it from Claude, ChatGPT or Codex.
Build a price list from my Brakes collection, grouped by model. Ask me before you publish.

Sample data. Header repeats when the table continues on the next page.
Your product catalog lives in a spreadsheet, a designer's inbox and a layout file.
Every price change, new season or dealer request starts the same loop: export, send, wait, proofread, re-export. With thousands of products, the loop never really ends.
- Export products to Excel and clean the columns by hand
- Send the file to a designer and wait for proofs
- Check long tables page by page for broken rows
- Repeat when a price list changes or a dealer asks for an update
- Connect your store or import a CSV or Excel file
- Pick a designer template, then shape it by hand or by asking
- Publish a print-ready PDF and a shareable flipbook link
- When your data changes, the catalog regenerates itself
A catalog builder with the tables, indexes and updates big catalogs need.
Parts, equipment, industrial supplies and auto catalogs carry specifications, variants and compatibility. Foldsquare is built around that structure, not around photos of lifestyle shots.
Spec tables that scale
List tables and matrix tables driven by your product data. Group by category or attribute. Long tables continue across pages with the header repeated.
Compatibility, built in
Say which product fits which: a part to a machine, an accessory to a model, a variant to a size. Show it as a table your buyers can scan.
Your fields become columns
Bring custom fields, such as Shopify metafields and BigCommerce custom fields, into your tables. Dimensions, materials, ratings, whatever you track.
Contents and part number index
An automatic table of contents, and an index so a buyer holding a part number can find its page.
A catalog that updates itself
Change a price or add a product in your store. Your catalog follows and the PDF regenerates. Edits you made by hand are kept.
Print, email and web formats
A full-quality PDF for the press, a compressed PDF for email, and a flipbook link with analytics, a lead form and password protection.
PDF catalogs, price lists, line sheets and flipbooks from one source.
Every format is built from the same product data, so a change in your store reaches all of them. Start from a free template, then let Foldsquare fill it in.
Price lists
Wholesale and retail price lists that regenerate when your prices change.
Price list templateWholesale line sheets
SKU, pack size, minimum order quantity and wholesale price for every product.
Line sheet templateProduct catalogs
Print-ready PDF catalogs for trade shows, dealers and distributors.

Let buyers order straight from the catalog, or print the form.

Send a link instead of a 40 MB file. Add shoppable links, analytics, a lead form or a password.
Describe the catalog. The assistant builds it.
Our designers make the templates. The assistant, Foldsquare's AI catalog builder, does the work: it picks the products, fills the pages and makes the edits that take minutes by hand. It is optional, and everything it makes stays editable.
- It shows you the templates and you choose. It never guesses a wholesale discount.
- It asks before it publishes, deletes or embeds anything.
- Every change can be undone with one click.
- Included on every plan. Switch it on in Settings, Labs. It answers in English, Spanish or French.
Your catalog, inside the AI tools you already use.
Foldsquare includes an MCP server for product catalogs. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI apps use to work with other software. Connect it once, and Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any MCP client can search your products, build catalogs, preview pages, publish and report back.
You do not need any of this to use Foldsquare. It is there for teams that already work in an AI tool, and for anyone who wants to automate their catalogs.
