How to cancel Stripe subscription using API?

Hi, I want to allow users to cancel their subscriptions directly via the API because the default authClient.subscription.cancel just redirects users to the Stripe Billing Portal, which doesn’t suit my needs. I just want users to be able to click a button and cancel their subscription - nothing more. Has anyone achieved this properly?

Currently, I’ve implemented cancellation through the API, but now I’m thinking about how to synchronize it properly with Better-Auth. I noticed that the database isn’t updated after I cancel a subscription, etc.

My logic:

"use server";

import { stripeClient } from "@/lib/stripe";

export async function cancelSubscription(stripeSubscriptionId: string) {
  if (!stripeSubscriptionId) throw new Error("Missing subscriptionId");

  try {
    await stripeClient.subscriptions.cancel(stripeSubscriptionId);
    return { success: true };
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Błąd anulowania subskrypcji:", err);
    return { success: false, error: (err as Error).message };
  }
}

export async function reactivateSubscription(stripeSubscriptionId: string) {
  if (!stripeSubscriptionId) throw new Error("Missing subscriptionId");

  try {
    await stripeClient.subscriptions.update(stripeSubscriptionId, {
      cancel_at_period_end: false,
    });
    return { success: true };
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Błąd przywracania subskrypcji:", err);
    return { success: false, error: (err as Error).message };
  }
}
