Resources are provisioned in your PlanetScale account with normal access and dashboards. Your billing page in the PlanetScale dashboard will indicate that you are connected to the Stripe app and payments are made through Stripe.
Before you begin
Before you can use PlanetScale with the Stripe CLI, you’ll need:
- Access to the developer preview
- A Stripe account
- A PlanetScale account (or Stripe Projects can create one for you)
- The Stripe CLI installed and up to date
- The Projects plugin installed:
stripe plugin install projects
Quickstart
Initialize Stripe Projects in your app directory, add a PlanetScale database, and sync credentials to your local environment:
# Enter into your app directory
cd my-app
# Initialize a new Stripe project
stripe projects init
# Add a PlanetScale Postgres database
stripe projects add planetscale/postgresql
# Or add a PlanetScale MySQL database
stripe projects add planetscale/mysql
# Sync credentials to your local .env file
stripe projects env --sync
.env file will be updated with your PlanetScale database connection string.
Add a database
When you run stripe projects add, you can sign in to your existing PlanetScale account or let Stripe Projects create a new one. You’ll be prompted to configure:
- Database name
- Cluster size
- Region
- Number of replicas
Once confirmed, your database is provisioned and credentials are returned in an agent-readable format.
Manage credentials
List your project’s environment variables (values are not shown):
Sync credentials to your local .env file:
stripe projects env --sync
stripe projects rotate planetscale/postgresql
stripe projects rotate planetscale/mysql
Check project status
Review your project’s linked providers, provisioned services, and health:
Open your PlanetScale dashboard
stripe projects open planetscale
Remove a database
This is a destructive operation. Running this command will delete your PlanetScale database.
stripe projects remove planetscale/postgresql
stripe projects remove planetscale/mysql
Non-interactive and agent use
All commands support flags for use in CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and AI agents:
| Flag | Description |
|---|
--json | Return output as structured JSON |
--no-interactive | Disable prompts; commands fail if input is missing |
--auto-confirm | Accept confirmation prompts automatically |
--quiet | Suppress non-essential output |
stripe projects add planetscale/postgresql \
--no-interactive \
--json
