How to connect and sync Supabase to Stripe in 5 minutes with Whalesync

Supabase is an open-source backend that makes it easy to build fast, scalable applications. Stripe powers the billing systems behind many of today’s top startups and SaaS tools.

If you use Supabase to store customer or user data, and Stripe to handle billing or subscriptions, syncing the two helps you centralize and automate how your product and payments data work together, without messy exports.

In this post, we’ll show you how to connect and sync Supabase and Stripe in five minutes.

Let's begin.

Why should you connect Supabase to Stripe?

Connecting Supabase and Stripe allows you to sync billing data from Stripe directly into your Supabase database. This lets you combine customer data, app activity, and payment status in one place—ideal for internal dashboards, analytics, and customer visibility.

While the sync is one-way (Stripe → Supabase), this setup makes it easy to enrich your backend with live payment data for monitoring subscription status, triggering onboarding flows, or analyzing revenue.

It eliminates manual syncing, reduces errors, and gives product and operations teams real-time billing visibility—all within your existing database setup.

When should you connect Supabase and Stripe?

Here are a few common scenarios where connecting the two makes sense:

• You store user data in Supabase: Sync Stripe data to match payments, subscriptions, and invoices with user IDs or profiles in your database.
• You need internal visibility across product and finance: Rather than giving the whole team Stripe access, sync billing info into Supabase for read-only dashboards or admin tools.
• You want to track customer health or usage behavior: Merging Stripe billing activity with in-app behavior helps you create smarter alerts, better reporting, and lifecycle triggers.

How to sync Supabase and Stripe

Here’s a step-by-step guide to sync Supabase and Stripe.

Step 1: Create a new sync

Log in to your Whalesync account and click ‘New sync’

Step 2: Authorize your apps

Select the apps you want to connect. In this case, it’s Supabase and Stripe. Then, authorize these two apps. Authorizing the apps enables Whalesync to have access to your app data in order to complete the syncs.

When you’re authorizing the apps, you need to select the Supabase table you want to sync the data to.

To authorize Stripe, you need to enter your Stripe API Secret Key.

Step 3: Map your tables

Choose the tables that you want to sync from Stripe to Supabase. You can add multiple table mappings to a sync and related fields. You can also create the tables you want to map from Whalesync’s user interface, making it much faster to get started with your syncing.

Step 4: Map your fields

You can choose how many fields you want to map, whether you want to map all of the fields or just a few.

When mapping your fields, consider what data you want to give your team access and visibility to, ensuring that you comply with data privacy and protection laws.

You can also create fields here.

Once the sync is set up, your Stripe data will automatically sync to Supabase.

Step 5: Activate sync

The final step is to activate your sync! Before you activate your sync, you’ll see a preview that shows you how many records will be added to Supabase.

Done! Supabase and Stripe is synced 🤝

Wait a few seconds and you’ll see your Supabase table synced with data from Stripe.
