Linking Paddle as a source

The Paddle connector syncs customers, discounts, prices, products, subscriptions, transactions, and adjustments from your Paddle account into PostHog.

Adding a data source

1. Go to the sources tab of the data pipeline section in PostHog.

2. Click + New source and then click Link next to Paddle.

3. Next, you need an API key from Paddle. In your Paddle dashboard, go to Developer tools > Authentication and click New API key. Give the key a name and grant it Read access to the following entities:

   • Customers
   • Discounts
   • Prices
   • Products
   • Subscriptions
   • Transactions
   • Adjustments

   Copy the generated API key (it starts with pdl_live_... for live keys or pdl_sdbx_... for sandbox keys).

4. Back in PostHog, paste the API key into the API Key field and click Next.

5. Select the tables you want to sync and modify the method and frequency as needed. Once done, click Import.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start using Paddle data in PostHog.

Sync methods

Only the transactions table supports incremental and append-only syncing, using billed_at as the replication key. All other tables (customers, discounts, prices, products, subscriptions, and adjustments) are synced via full table refresh.
