Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1580

Is this suited for github?

To Reproduce

Image

most probably this is due to callback api route and in my case code is not generated as i cancel the process to choose another account

logger do print access_denied and error_description=undefined but it do not redirect it

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current :

it is ignoring errorCallbackURL in social signing process even if it is passed and redirecting it to api default error page

expected
it should redirect to the callbackurl passed in social loging

await authClient.signIn.social(
	{
		provider: "google",
		callbackURL: "/dashboard",
		errorCallbackURL: "/sign-in",
	},
	{
		onRequest: () => {
			setIsOAuthLogin(true);
		},
		onError: (ctx) => {
			setIsOAuthLogin(false);
			toast.error(ctx.error.message);
		},
	},
);

in my case it should redirect it to signing page with queries code and description as designed

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.21

@rohittiwari-dev commented on GitHub (Mar 2, 2025):

when using this

// Client Auth
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react";
import { nextCookies } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
	baseURL: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL,
	plugins: [nextCookies()],
});

and doing social api call like

await authClient.signIn.social(
			{
				provider: "google",
				callbackURL: "/dashboard",
				errorCallbackURL: "/sign-in",
			},
			{
				onRequest: () => {
					setIsOAuthLogin(true);
				},
				onError: (ctx) => {
					setIsOAuthLogin(false);
					toast.error(ctx.error.message);
				},
			},
		);

it should redirect to errorCallbackURL right in v1.2.0

it is not redirecting
@Bekacru can you help me out

I have this issue with 1.2.5 - setting errorCallbackURL not working using google social login.
Would it be possible to demonstrate proper usage on the nextjs demo?
Thank you!

@asynchroza commented on GitHub (Jun 6, 2025):

After revisiting the PR which is supposedly closing this issue, I figured that the newly developed option only allows onAPIError which is a global endpoint for when the API route fails.

import {
    betterAuth
} from 'better-auth';
import { dialect } from '~/database/client';
import { env } from '~/env';

export const auth = betterAuth({
    socialProviders: {
        google: {
            clientId: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
            clientSecret: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
        },
        facebook: {
            clientId: env.FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID,
            clientSecret: env.FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET
        }
    },
    database: dialect,
    onAPIError: {
        errorURL: "/login"
    }
});

This is not the preferred solution as this is a one stop solution for all flows which have authentication. In my particular case, if the user is logging in and they cancel the process, they are redirected to /login. That's fine but what if I have to reauthenticate a session in the background and something else happens? Why can't we just make the errorCallbackUrl work?

Having the same issues.
When user gets banned and tries to login with OAuth, the user gets redirected to api/auth/error instead of specified redirect page

I encountered same issue, and using 1.3.4 still does not fix , what workaround did you use?

Confirmed this url doesn't get called if, for example, you start Google log in and hit cancel instead of approving the connection.
