Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Maybe, yes. Stripe is support is limited to countries like Pakistan. Currently, there's no built-in way to authenticate users or validate subscriptions using LemonSqueezy with better-auth.

Describe the solution you'd like

A better-auth plugin for LemonSqueezy that validates licenses/subscriptions via API and webhooks.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually integrating LemonSqueezy's API and webhooks into each project (time-consuming and error-prone)

Additional context

This plugin would be especially useful for developers selling browser extensions, SaaS apps, or digital tools using LemonSqueezy. Many of these products need simple but secure licensing tied to a user’s email or license key. Integrating this into better-auth would provide a seamless DX and reduce time-to-market for monetized projects.

In my opinion I do not believe this is a good idea. The company has been acquired by Stripe - and LemonSqueezy is becoming more redundant with the Managed Payments system. I feel that soon enough Stripe will migrate all LemonSqueezy customers to Stripe.

Fair enough! I did not think about this.
