Connect Neon to Codeless Sync

Neon

Codeless Sync (CLS) lets you sync API data directly into your PostgreSQL database — no code, no webhooks, no custom pipelines. Pair it with Neon's serverless Postgres and you get a fully managed, auto-scaling database that stays in sync with your business tools automatically.

This guide walks through syncing Stripe data to Neon as an example. CLS also supports QuickBooks, Xero, and Paddle — the setup steps are nearly identical for each provider.

Sync Stripe Data to Neon PostgreSQL — No Code, 5 Minute Setup

Prerequisites

Step 1: Get Your Neon Connection String

  1. Log in to the Neon Console
  2. Select your project (or create a new one)
  3. Click the Connect button in your project dashboard
  4. Copy the connection string — it starts with postgresql:// or postgres://

Enable connection pooling in Neon for better performance with CLS. You can find pooling options in your project's Connection Details panel.

Step 2: Select Provider and Data Type

  1. Log in to your CLS dashboard
  2. Click Create Sync Configuration to open the setup wizard
  3. Select Stripe as your provider
  4. Choose a data type to sync (e.g., Customers)

CLS also supports QuickBooks, Xero, and Paddle. You can create additional sync configurations for any supported provider after completing this guide.

Step 3: Connect Your Neon Database

  1. In the wizard, click New Project
  2. Enter a project name (e.g., "Neon Production")
  3. Select Neon as the database platform
  4. Paste your Neon connection string from Step 1
  5. Click Test Connection to verify

Your connection string contains your database password. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

Step 4: Enter Your Stripe API Key

  1. Paste your Stripe restricted key (rk_test_ or rk_live_)
  2. Click Test Connection to verify access

We recommend using a restricted key for security. See the Stripe Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions on creating one.

Step 5: Create Your Database Table

CLS can auto-create the required table in your Neon database with one click.

  1. Click Auto-Create Table
  2. Wait for confirmation that the table was created
  3. Click Verify Table to confirm the schema

If auto-create doesn't work, you can use the manual fallback:

  1. Click Copy SQL Template to copy the CREATE TABLE statement
  2. Open the Neon SQL Editor in your project
  3. Paste and execute the SQL
  4. Return to CLS and click Verify Table

Step 6: Review and Create

  1. Give your configuration a name (e.g., "Neon Stripe Customers")
  2. Review all settings — provider, database, table, and data type
  3. Click Create Configuration

Run Your First Sync

  1. Go to your CLS dashboard
  2. Find your new configuration and click Sync Now
  3. Watch the progress bar as CLS fetches and writes your data
  4. Once complete, open the Neon Console and navigate to Tables to verify your data

Set Up Automated Syncs

Keep your Neon database in sync automatically with scheduled syncs.

  1. Navigate to Schedules in your CLS dashboard
  2. Click Create Schedule
  3. Select your configuration, choose a frequency, and pick a sync mode
  4. Save the schedule

Scheduled syncs require a paid plan. Free users can trigger syncs manually at any time from the dashboard.

Neon Tips

Scale-to-Zero

Neon can automatically suspend idle compute endpoints. CLS handles this seamlessly — your database will auto-resume when a sync starts.

Branching

Use Neon's database branching to test schema changes safely. Create a branch, point a test CLS configuration at it, and verify everything works before applying changes to your production branch.

Connection Pooling

Enable Neon's built-in connection pooling for better performance with CLS. Pooled connections reduce overhead and handle concurrent syncs more efficiently.
