PayPal to Postgres integration for a queryable transaction replica

The PayPal to Postgres integration from Adapters syncs transactions, gross and fee amounts, refunds, and payer details from the PayPal Transaction Search API into your own Postgres tables on an incremental schedule, so finance and product reporting query settlement data with plain SQL instead of paging PayPal live. Field mapping takes about a minute and no code is required.

What running PayPal to Postgres by hand costs you

  • PayPal reports cannot join to your orders, subscriptions, or accounting tables, so gross-to-net and chargeback questions get answered by hand from CSV downloads.
  • The Transaction Search API only returns a bounded date window per call and paginates by page, so a naive pull silently drops transactions outside the window.
  • Gross, fee, and net sit in separate amount objects, and a one-time export makes reconciliation to the payout total guesswork.

The field mapping, out of the box

These cables are pre-wired when you pick the pair. Rewire any of them, or add your own, in the same visual data mapping tool you use for every adapter.

Input / PAYPAL

transaction.id
paypal_transaction.id
transaction.gross
paypal_transaction.gross_amount
transaction.fee
paypal_transaction.fee_amount
payer.email
paypal_transaction.payer_email
transaction.status
paypal_transaction.status
transaction.created
paypal_transaction.created_at

Transforms included

Incremental loads step the Transaction Search API in overlapping date windows so nothing between windows is skipped; gross, fee, and net land as separate NUMERIC(19,4) columns with a currency code so gross-to-net ties out to the payout, payer email flattens to a joinable column, the ISO 8601 timestamps parse to TIMESTAMPTZ in UTC, and writes upsert with ON CONFLICT on the PayPal transaction id so a re-pulled window never double-counts revenue.

PayPal to Postgres sync: common questions

How does the PayPal to Postgres sync work?

The PayPal to Postgres integration from Adapters syncs transactions, gross and fee amounts, refunds, and payer details from the PayPal Transaction Search API into your own Postgres tables on an incremental schedule, so finance and product reporting query settlement data with plain SQL instead of paging PayPal live. Field mapping takes about a minute and no code is required.

How much does the PayPal Postgres integration cost?

Pricing is flat and monthly: Starter at $49, Growth at $149, Scale at $399. Every plan includes this pair, visual field mapping, and per-record logs. There are no per-task or per-row fees, so the bill stays the same as volume grows.

How often can Adapters sync PayPal to Postgres?

Hourly on Starter, every 5 minutes on Growth, and down to every minute on Scale. Failed records retry automatically with backoff, and alerting plus a full per-record log come standard on every run.

Do I need to write code to connect PayPal and Postgres?

No. Fields are auto-mapped the moment you pick the pair, and you can rewire any mapping visually before the first sync. Incremental loads step the Transaction Search API in overlapping date windows so nothing between windows is skipped; gross, fee, and net land as separate NUMERIC(19,4) columns with a currency code so gross-to-net ties out to the payout, payer email flattens to a joinable column, the ISO 8601 timestamps parse to TIMESTAMPTZ in UTC, and writes upsert with ON CONFLICT on the PayPal transaction id so a re-pulled window never double-counts revenue.
