Hi there! Thanks for reporting the billing portal 404 issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps to try out:

• Verify that your Stripe plugin configuration is up to date and that your Stripe client is using a supported API version. Sometimes a change or mismatch there can lead to endpoint issues.

• Double-check that the billing portal endpoint is correctly configured on both your client and server. In some cases, the route might be misconfigured or not properly registered due to a version mismatch.

• Review your logs for any additional error details from either the Better Auth backend or Stripe itself. This can offer hints on whether the issue lies within our routing or from Stripe’s API response.

If you continue to experience this issue, tag @better-auth-agent if you would like an answer from the Agent. Is there any additional detail (for example, error logs or timing) that might help narrow this down further?

If you need more help, tag @Skyvern in a comment so I can respond.

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

The 404 error happens because the billingPortal() client method defaults to a GET request, but the backend expects POST. To fix this, call it like this:

const { data, error } = await authClient.subscription.billingPortal({
  fetchOptions: { method: "POST" }
});

This is a known limitation—there’s currently no built-in way to make the client use POST for this action without the manual override [source].

If you still get a 404 after using POST, double-check that the Stripe plugin is included in both your server and client configs, both better-auth and @better-auth/stripe are on the same version, and that your plugin config uses subscription (not subscriptions) and has enabled: true [source]. If the problem persists, check your server logs to see if the endpoint is being registered at runtime.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
