Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

When package.json includes "type": "module", the Stripe plugin throws TypeScript errors. Removing this field from package.json resolves the TS errors.

package.json (causing issues)

{
  "name": "issue",
  "type": "module",
  "packageManager": "pnpm@10.7.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@better-auth/stripe": "^1.3.6",
    "@types/node": "^22",
    "better-auth": "^1.3.5",
    "pg": "^8.16.3",
    "stripe": "^18.0.0"
  }
}

tsconfig.json

{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "nodenext",
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "types": ["node"],
    "outDir": "./dist"
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

src/auth.ts

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins";
import { stripe } from "@better-auth/stripe";

import { Pool } from "pg";
import Stripe from "stripe";

const stripeClient = new Stripe("API_KEY", {
  apiVersion: "2025-07-30.basil",
  typescript: true,
});

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: new Pool({
    connectionString: "CONNECTION_STRING",
  }),
  plugins: [
    organization(),
    stripe({
      stripeClient,
      stripeWebhookSecret: "asc",
      createCustomerOnSignUp: true,
    }),
  ],
});

Environment

  • Node.js: v22
  • Package Manager: pnpm 10.7.0
  • better-auth: ^1.3.5
  • @better-auth/stripe: ^1.3.5
  • stripe: ^18.0.0

Current Workaround

Remove "type": "module" from package.json.

Current vs. Expected behavior

TypeScript compilation fails when "type": "module" is present in package.json. The Stripe plugin should work correctly with ES modules configuration.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.5

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";

import { Pool } from "pg";
import Stripe from "stripe";

const stripeClient = new Stripe("API_KEY", {
  apiVersion: "2025-07-30.basil",

  ],
});

Additional context

All other better-auth functionality works correctly with ES modules.

Hi @cesconix! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

This is a known issue: when using "type": "module" in your package.json, the Stripe plugin for Better Auth can trigger TypeScript errors, most commonly "The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize. An explicit type annotation is needed" or similar type inference problems. This happens due to complex type inference in plugin composition and how TypeScript resolves types in ESM projects with dual module packages like @better-auth/stripe [source].

Workarounds and recommendations:

  • Add explicit type annotations to your auth export or any plugin configuration that triggers the error. For example:

    export const auth: ReturnType<typeof betterAuth> = betterAuth({ ... });

  • If you hit type errors in plugin hooks (like onCustomerCreate), manually cast the user object to include any custom fields you expect, e.g.,

    onCustomerCreate: async ({ user, ...rest }, request) => {
  const typedUser = user as typeof user & { first_name: string };
  // use typedUser.first_name
}

  • If you see errors about optional or undefined fields in plugin schemas, you may need to add | undefined to the relevant types or use // @ts-ignore as a temporary workaround [source].

  • Make sure all your better-auth packages are on the same version to avoid type incompatibility between different versions in node_modules [source].

The Stripe plugin is intended to work with ES modules and TypeScript, and its package.json is set up for dual ESM/CJS support [source]. However, TypeScript's type inference and module resolution can still cause issues in ESM projects, especially with complex plugin setups.

If you continue to see errors, sharing the exact TypeScript error message will help pinpoint the best workaround.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

This TS2322 error is caused by TypeScript seeing multiple instances of the BetterAuthPlugin and AuthContext types due to ESM/CJS module resolution—so even though the types look identical, TypeScript treats them as incompatible. This usually happens if your node_modules contains more than one copy of better-auth or its types, which can occur with pnpm workspaces, nested dependencies, or mismatched versions [source].

To fix this, make sure all better-auth packages resolve to a single version and instance. Try running pnpm dedupe (or the equivalent for your package manager), and check your dependency tree with pnpm list better-auth to confirm there’s only one copy. If you’re using workspaces, ensure all packages depend on the exact same version. You can also use a resolutions field in your package.json to force a single version.

If you still see the error after deduplication, you can temporarily bypass it with // @ts-ignore on the affected line, but this doesn’t solve the underlying type identity issue [source]. If you want to dig deeper, share your dependency tree and I can help spot any duplicates or mismatches.

This is a known pitfall with strict TypeScript plugin typing in ESM projects, and similar issues have been reported with other better-auth plugins [source]. There’s currently no built-in fix in better-auth, so deduplication is the most reliable solution.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

If you still see the error after deduplication, you can temporarily bypass it with `// @ts-ignore` on the affected line, but this doesn’t solve the underlying type identity issue [[source](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/2652#issuecomment-2881801528)]. If you want to dig deeper, share your dependency tree and I can help spot any duplicates or mismatches. This is a known pitfall with strict TypeScript plugin typing in ESM projects, and similar issues have been reported with other better-auth plugins [[source](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1252#issuecomment-2676268573)]. There’s currently no built-in fix in better-auth, so deduplication is the most reliable solution. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?

Also important to note, v1.3.8-beta.3 is not compatible with Cloudflare workers (non node runtime). It uses node:sqlite, which is not compatible without a pollyfill.
