Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/canary/packages/stripe/src/index.ts#L399

(There are a few other redirect: true in this file)

Current vs. Expected behavior

I would prefer to be able to control the redirect across all the stripe endpoints but I'm not sure if it's intentional that some support disabling the redirect and just returning the URL and others don't.

When a user has a new subscription, I can control the redirect, but when they upgrade an existing one I am forced to redirect them so they leave my app.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.4

System info

N/A

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2025):

You're right—disableRedirect only works for new Stripe subscriptions (via Checkout), not for upgrades. When upgrading an existing subscription, the endpoint always returns redirect: true and sends users to the Stripe billing portal, ignoring the disableRedirect option. Other endpoints like cancellation and billing portal creation also always set redirect: true and don't let you control this behavior. This inconsistency isn't documented and looks like an oversight rather than a deliberate design choice (code reference, related issue).

If you want to control redirect behavior for upgrades and other endpoints, you'd need to patch the endpoint logic to respect disableRedirect everywhere. Standardizing this across all Stripe endpoints would make the API much more flexible and predictable. Let me know if you want pointers or code snippets for making that change.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

I actually no longer need this behavior as it causes issues in certain browsers when trying to manually open the link.

The redirect is not working for this specific use case, always redirects to the root domain

Pass returnUrl: "/some_url_path" instead of successUrl to the authClient.subscription.upgrade. See: stripe/src. The current implementation creates a portal and ignores the "successUrl" but takes returnUrl instead.

It works for my case. Hope this helps.

Hello, we currently have a disableRedirect option. I've added a documentation PR to clarify how it works!
