Why teams connect Adyen and PostgreSQL

Work with Adyen's financial data straight from PostgreSQL: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Settlement Detail Reports, Payments, Modifications (Captures, Refunds, Cancels), Payment Links from Adyen into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in PostgreSQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against PostgreSQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Adyen with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create Adyen Payment Links from an invoicing or billing system and sync each link's paid or expired status back so accounts receivable sees payment without opening the Customer Area.
  • 02 Provision Stores, Users, and API credentials through the Management API from an internal admin app or IdP so new locations and staff get the right Adyen access automatically.
  • 03 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
  • 04 Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store

Common sync patterns

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on PostgreSQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Adyen.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in PostgreSQL propagate into Adyen, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Adyen appear in PostgreSQL as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between Adyen and PostgreSQL

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Adyen objects PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Payments Checkout API payment requests and results (/payments); created to authorize a card, wallet, or local payment, and retrieved by pspReference. Final state arrives asynchronously via the AUTHORISATION webhook. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Payments is specific to Adyen and Materialized Views to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Modifications (Captures, Refunds, Cancels) Actions on an authorized payment via /payments/{pspReference}/captures, /refunds, and /cancels; written to settle, return, or void funds, with results confirmed by CAPTURE and REFUND webhooks. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Modifications (Captures, Refunds, Cancels) is specific to Adyen and Schemas to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payment Links Hosted payment link objects created through /paymentLinks; created, retrieved, and expired, with paid or expired status reported back through webhooks for accounts-receivable sync. Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Payment Links is specific to Adyen and Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Merchant Accounts Company and merchant account entities in the Management API; read and updated to keep account configuration, payment-method settings, and capabilities aligned with internal systems. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Merchant Accounts is specific to Adyen and Primary and Unique Keys to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stores Physical and online store entities under a merchant account (Management API); full CRUD, so new locations and their payment-method configuration can be provisioned from an internal admin source. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Stores is specific to Adyen and JSONB Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and API Credentials Customer Area users and API-credential objects managed via the Management API; created, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Adyen access aligned with an IdP or HR source. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Users and API Credentials is specific to Adyen and Sequences to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adyen and PostgreSQL

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Adyen PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionAdyen notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Standard webhooks for payment events (AUTHORISATION, CAPTURE, REFUND, CHARGEBACK, and more) plus Management, Balance Platform, and report webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

PostgreSQL Adyen Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Adyen through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adyen: Adyen does not publish fixed numeric rate limits; excessive requests return HTTP 429, and the Management API reports 'too many requests' in the error detail. Adyen recommends exponential backoff, and no rate-limit response headers are documented.
  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
