Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Server-side methods related to the Stripe plugin (such as auth.api.upgradeSubscription) are not available or accessible after configuring the Stripe plugin.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Stripe plugin methods should be available on the server side through the auth API, allowing server-side subscription management operations. Current behavior is that auth.api.upgradeSubscription is undefined ma also other expected subscriptions API methods are not accessible.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.5

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Aug 17, 2025):

The Stripe plugin's server-side subscription methods (like auth.api.upgradeSubscription) are only exposed if you set the subscription: { enabled: true } option in your Stripe plugin config. Your current config is missing this, so those methods aren't available. Also, make sure that both better-auth and @better-auth/stripe are on the exact same version (e.g., both at 1.3.5); mismatched versions will cause plugin methods to be undefined. After updating your config and versions, clear your node_modules and reinstall dependencies to ensure everything is registered correctly. This pattern has resolved similar issues for other users (example, example).

Here’s how your plugin config should look:

stripe({
  stripeClient,
  stripeWebhookSecret: "secret",
  createCustomerOnSignUp: true,
  subscription: {
    enabled: true,
    // ...other subscription options
  },
})

Once you do this, auth.api.upgradeSubscription and other subscription management methods should be available server-side as expected (plugin code reference).
