Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Paddle data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your payment and finance data instead of moving it.

What is the Paddle connector

Sync your Paddle billing data into BigQuery with Kaivo to analyse subscriptions, transactions, and revenue.

Category	Finance & Payments, E-commerce
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the Paddle connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your Paddle account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating Paddle

Authenticate with your API Key.

Field	Description
API Key	Your Paddle API key. Navigate to Paddle > Developer tools > Authentication > Generate API key.

Configuring the Paddle connector

When you set up the connector, you provide:

Field	Description
Environment	The Paddle API environment. Use Live for production and Sandbox for testing.
Start Date	Any data before this date will not be fetched.

Tables and columns synced from Paddle

Kaivo syncs 13 tables from Paddle into a dedicated dataset in your BigQuery warehouse. Click any table to see its columns and types.

How the Paddle sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Paddle supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Paddle?

It depends on how much history is in your Paddle account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Paddle's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Paddle, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Paddle instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Paddle connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.

Common use cases for Paddle data

Recurring revenue

Use subscriptions and transactions to track recurring revenue and churn over time.

Billing reporting

Join transactions with adjustments and discounts to reconcile revenue.

Customer view

Use customers and businesses to measure lifetime value.

Product analysis

Use products and prices to see what drives revenue.
