Stytch + Supabase

PowerSync is compatible with both Consumer and B2B SaaS Stytch project types when using Stytch for auth with Supabase projects.

Consumer Authentication

See this community project for detailed setup instructions: https://github.com/guillempuche/localfirst_react_server

B2B SaaS Authentication

The high-level approach is:

• Users authenticate via Stytch

• Extract the user and org IDs from the Stytch JWT

• Generate a Supabase JWT by calling a Supabase Edge Function that uses the Supabase JWT Secret for signing a new JWT

  • Set the KID in the JWT header

    • You can obtain this from any other Supabase JWT by - this value is static, even across DB upgrades.

  • Set the AUD field to authenticated

  • Set the SUB field in the JWT payload to the user ID

• Pass this new JWT into your PowerSync fetchCredentials function

Use the below settings in your PowerSync dashboard:
