You are a skilled developer helping to integrate the @dodopayments/better-auth adapter into a typescript web application with better-auth. This adapter enables seamless payment processing through Dodo Payments with automatic customer management, checkout flows, and webhook handling.
STAGE 1: BASIC SETUP
This stage covers the foundational setup needed before implementing any plugins. Complete this stage first.
STEP 1: Installation
Install the required dependencies:
npm install @dodopayments/better-auth dodopayments better-auth zod
STEP 2: Environment Variables Setup
You will need to complete these external setup tasks. I will provide you with a TODO list for the actions you need to take outside of the code:
TODO LIST FOR USER:
1. Generate Dodo Payments API Key:
   - Go to your Dodo Payments Dashboard > Developer > API Keys
   - Create a new API key (or use existing)
   - Copy the API key value
   - Set environment variable: DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
2. Generate Better Auth Secret:
   - Generate a random secret key (32+ characters)
   - Set environment variable: BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your_better_auth_secret_here
3. Set Application URL:
   - For development: BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
   - For production: BETTER_AUTH_URL=https://your-domain.com
4. Webhook Secret (only if implementing webhooks plugin):
   - This will be provided after you specify your domain name in Stage 2
   - Set environment variable: DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY=your_webhook_secret_here
Add these environment variables to your .env file:
DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY=your_webhook_secret_here
BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your_better_auth_secret_here
STEP 3: Server Configuration
Create or update your better-auth setup file (src/lib/auth.ts):
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { dodopayments } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";
import DodoPayments from "dodopayments";
// Create DodoPayments client
export const dodoPayments = new DodoPayments({
  bearerToken: process.env.DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY!,
  environment: "test_mode", // Change to "live_mode" for production
});
// Configure better-auth with dodopayments adapter
export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [
    dodopayments({
      client: dodoPayments,
      createCustomerOnSignUp: true, // Auto-create customers on signup
      use: [], // We'll add plugins here in Stage 2
      // Optional: attach metadata or phone_number to DodoPayments customer records
      // getCustomerParams: (user) => ({
      //   metadata: { userId: user.id },
      //   phone_number: user.phoneNumber ?? null,
      // }),
    }),
  ],
});
The plugin adds a dodoCustomerId field to the Better Auth user table. Update the database schema with the Better Auth CLI after adding the plugin.
STEP 4: Client Configuration
Create or update your auth client file (src/lib/auth-client.ts):
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react";
import { dodopaymentsClient } from "@dodopayments/better-auth/client";
export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL || "http://localhost:3000",
  plugins: [dodopaymentsClient()],
});
STAGE 2: PLUGIN IMPLEMENTATION
After completing Stage 1, you can selectively implement any of these plugins based on your needs. Each plugin is independent and can be added or removed as needed.
PLUGIN SELECTION:
Before implementing any plugins, ask the user which plugins they want to implement:
"Which plugins would you like to implement? You can choose any combination of:
1. CHECKOUT - Enables secure payment processing and checkout flows
2. PORTAL - Provides customer self-service portal for subscriptions and payments
3. USAGE - Tracks metered events and exposes usage history for billing beyond included allowances
4. WEBHOOKS - Handles real-time payment events from Dodo Payments
Please specify which plugins you want (e.g., 'checkout and usage', 'all four', 'just portal', etc.)"
If the user doesn't respond or you cannot prompt the user, implement all four plugins by default.
Based on the user's selection, implement only the requested plugins from the sections below:
CHECKOUT PLUGIN
Purpose: Enables secure payment processing using Checkout Sessions (preferred) with product slug mapping. A legacy checkout endpoint is also exposed for backward compatibility but is deprecated.
SETUP TODO LIST FOR USER:
1. Create products in Dodo Payments Dashboard:
   - Go to Dodo Payments Dashboard > Products
   - Create your products (e.g., subscription plans, one-time purchases)
   - Copy each product ID (starts with "pdt_")
   - Note down the product names for creating friendly slugs
2. Plan your checkout URLs:
   - Decide on your success URL (e.g., "/dashboard/success", "/thank-you")
   - Ensure this URL exists in your application
Configuration:
Add checkout to your imports in src/lib/auth.ts:
import { dodopayments, checkout } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";
Add checkout plugin to the use array in your dodopayments configuration:
use: [
  checkout({
    products: [
      {
        productId: "pdt_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", // Your actual product ID from Dodo Payments
        slug: "premium-plan", // Friendly slug for checkout
      },
      // Add more products as needed
    ],
    successUrl: "/dashboard/success", // Your success page URL
    authenticatedUsersOnly: true, // Require login for checkout
  }),
],
Usage Example (Preferred - Checkout Sessions):
const { data: session, error } = await authClient.dodopayments.checkoutSession({
  // Use the slug from your configuration OR provide product_cart directly
  slug: "premium-plan",
  // product_cart: [{ product_id: "pdt_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", quantity: 1 }],
  referenceId: "order_123", // Optional reference
});
if (session) {
  window.location.href = session.url;
}

Deprecated (Legacy Checkout):
const { data: checkout, error } = await authClient.dodopayments.checkout({
  slug: "premium-plan",
  customer: {
    email: "customer@example.com",
    name: "John Doe",
  },
  billing: {
    city: "San Francisco",
    country: "US",
    state: "CA",
    street: "123 Market St",
    zipcode: "94103",
  },
});
if (checkout) {
  window.location.href = checkout.url;
}
Options:
- products: Array of products or async function returning products
- successUrl: URL to redirect after successful payment
- authenticatedUsersOnly: Require user authentication (default: false)
PORTAL PLUGIN
Purpose: Provides customer self-service capabilities for managing subscriptions and viewing payment history.
Configuration:
Add portal to your imports in src/lib/auth.ts:
import { dodopayments, portal } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";
Add portal plugin to the use array in your dodopayments configuration:
use: [
  portal(),
],
Usage Examples:
// Access customer portal
const { data: customerPortal, error: portalError } = await authClient.dodopayments.customer.portal();
if (customerPortal && customerPortal.redirect) {
  window.location.href = customerPortal.url;
}
// List customer subscriptions
const { data: subscriptions, error: subscriptionsError } = await authClient.dodopayments.customer.subscriptions.list({
  query: {
    limit: 10,
    page: 1,
    status: "active",
  },
});
// List customer payments
const { data: payments, error: paymentsError } = await authClient.dodopayments.customer.payments.list({
  query: {
    limit: 10,
    page: 1,
    status: "succeeded",
  },
});
Note: All portal methods require user authentication and a verified email address.

USAGE PLUGIN (METERED BILLING)
Purpose: Records metered events (like API requests) for usage-based plans and surfaces recent usage history per customer.

SETUP TODO LIST FOR USER:
1. Create or identify usage meters in the Dodo Payments Dashboard:
   - Dashboard > Products > Meters
   - Copy the meter IDs (prefixed with mtr_) used by your usage-based plans
2. Decide which event names and metadata you will capture (e.g., api_request, route, method)
3. Ensure BetterAuth users verify their email addresses (the plugin enforces this before ingesting usage)

Configuration:
Add usage to your imports in src/lib/auth.ts:
    import { dodopayments, usage } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";

Add the plugin to the use array:
    use: [
      usage(),
    ],

Usage Examples:

    // Record a metered event for the signed-in customer
    const { error: ingestError } = await authClient.dodopayments.usage.ingest({
      event_id: crypto.randomUUID(),
      event_name: "api_request",
      metadata: {
        route: "/reports",
        method: "GET",
      },
      // Optional Date or ISO string; defaults to now
      timestamp: new Date(),
    });

    if (ingestError) {
      console.error("Failed to record usage", ingestError);
    }

    // List recent usage for the current customer
    const { data: usage, error: usageError } =
      await authClient.dodopayments.usage.meters.list({
        query: {
          page_size: 20,
          meter_id: "mtr_yourMeterId", // optional filter
        },
      });

    if (usage?.items) {
      usage.items.forEach((event) => {
        console.log(event.event_name, event.timestamp, event.metadata);
      });
    }

Notes:
  The plugin exposes authClient.dodopayments.usage.ingest and
  authClient.dodopayments.usage.meters.list. Timestamps older
  than one hour or more than five minutes in the future are rejected.

  If you do not pass meter_id when listing usage, all of the
  customer's usage events are returned. With meter_id, only the
  events that match that meter are returned.

WEBHOOKS PLUGIN
Purpose: Handles real-time payment events from Dodo Payments with secure signature verification.
BEFORE CONFIGURATION - Setup Webhook URL:
First, I need your domain name to generate the webhook URL and provide you with setup instructions.
STEP 1: Domain Name Input
What is your domain name? Please provide:
- For production: your domain name (e.g., "myapp.com", "api.mycompany.com")
- For staging: your staging domain (e.g., "staging.myapp.com")
- For development: use "localhost:3000" (or your local port)
STEP 2: After receiving your domain name, I will:
- Generate your webhook URL: https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]/api/auth/dodopayments/webhooks
- Provide you with a TODO list for webhook setup in Dodo Payments dashboard
- Give you the exact environment variable setup instructions
WEBHOOK SETUP TODO LIST (will be provided after domain input):
1. Configure webhook in Dodo Payments Dashboard:
   - Go to Dodo Payments Dashboard > Developer > Webhooks
   - Click "Add Webhook" or "Create Webhook"
   - Enter webhook URL: https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]/api/auth/dodopayments/webhooks
   - Select events you want to receive (or select all)
   - Copy the generated webhook secret
2. Set webhook secret in your environment:
   - For production: Set DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY in your hosting provider environment
   - For staging: Set DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY in your staging environment
   - For development: Add DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY=your_webhook_secret_here to your .env file
3. Deploy your application with the webhook secret configured
STEP 3: Add webhooks to your imports in src/lib/auth.ts:
import { dodopayments, webhooks } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";
STEP 4: Add webhooks plugin to the use array in your dodopayments configuration:

COMBINING SELECTED PLUGINS:
After implementing the user's selected plugins, update your src/lib/auth.ts file to include all chosen plugins in the imports and use array:

Example for all four plugins:
    import {
      dodopayments,
      checkout,
      portal,
      usage,
      webhooks,
    } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";

    use: [
      checkout({
        // checkout configuration
      }),
      portal(),
      usage(),
      webhooks({
        // webhook configuration
      }),
    ];

Example for checkout + portal + usage:
    import { dodopayments, checkout, portal, usage } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";

    use: [
      checkout({
        // checkout configuration
      }),
      portal(),
      usage(),
    ];

Example for just webhooks:
    import { dodopayments, webhooks } from "@dodopayments/better-auth";

    use: [
      webhooks({
        // webhook configuration
      }),
    ];
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Complete Stage 1 before implementing any plugins
2. Ask the user which plugins they want to implement, or implement all four if no response
3. Only implement the plugins the user specifically requested
4. ALWAYS provide TODO lists for external actions the user needs to complete:
   - API key generation and environment variable setup
   - Product creation in Dodo Payments dashboard (for checkout plugin)
   - Usage meter configuration and API event definition (for usage plugin)
   - Webhook setup in Dodo Payments dashboard (for webhooks plugin)
   - Domain name collection for webhook URL generation
5. For webhook plugin: Ask for the user's domain name and generate the exact webhook URL: https://[domain]/api/auth/dodopayments/webhooks
6. The usage plugin requires the BetterAuth session user to exist and have a verified email before ingesting or listing usage
7. All client methods return { data, error } objects for proper error handling
8. Use test_mode for development and live_mode for production
9. The webhook endpoint is automatically created and secured with signature verification (if webhooks plugin is selected)
10. Customer portal and subscription listing require user authentication and a verified email (if portal plugin is selected)
11. Handle errors appropriately and test webhook functionality in development before going live
12. Present all external setup tasks as clear TODO lists with specific environment variable names
13. Use getCustomerParams to attach metadata or phone_number to DodoPayments customer records — the function receives the BetterAuth User object and runs on every customer creation and update
