This happens when I try to register in my application with the createCustomerOnSignUp option enabled in the Stripe plugin. I have already run the database migration, but the error still persists.

Solution:

BA probably creates the stripe customer after the user is created in the database not before

Ping•3d ago

@gabriel I'll try to reproduce on my end and let you know how it goes.

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

Im using the default stripe setup from next-forge: https://github.com/haydenbleasel/next-forge/blob/main/packages/payments/index.ts

make stripeCustomerId optional in your schema

Solution

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

BA probably creates the stripe customer after the user is created in the database not before

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

not probably, for sure it does

Ping•3d ago

@gabriel Can I see your prisma schema that was generated by Better Auth?

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

he for sure didint make stripeCustomerId optional, thats the only reason i could possible think he gets that error logically

gabrielOP•3d ago

@🌠kkMihai ⚡ is right — Better Auth is creating the customer after login. I had manually added the stripeCustomerId field based on the plugin's documentation schema. After changing the field to optional, the issue was resolved. Thank you all!

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

np, happy to help also quick question did you used the BA cli to generated the schema or?

gabrielOP•3d ago

No, I manually added the field just like the documentation

gabrielOP•3d ago

🌠kkMihai ⚡•3d ago

ye makes sense why u got that @gabriel mark this as resolved @Ping update the docs to specify stripeCustomerId to be set as optional
