create user on Stripe payment webhook?

Plugins related🤔Question

To improve conversions, I want to let people pay via Stripe before needing to log in or create an account. I'm using Email OTP plugin, so they automatically create an account when they log in without having to worry about "resetting" a password, but it looks like the Stripe plugin won't create the subscription records unless an account already exists.

I thought maybe I could use the generic

onEvent()

onEvent()

for a subscription.created event, create the Better Auth account if it doesn't exist, and then call the main handler for subscription.created to do the real work. Unfortunately, it looks like the event handlers are ordered with the specific handler running first and the

onEvent

onEvent

handler being called with only the event data and not the context and options that I'd need to call the specific handler from within the generic event handler.

What would make it possible to accept the payment first and create the account afterwards -- either triggered by the Stripe webhook call or by the user logging in for the first time?

Hmm, is it down to pinging Stripe to check for an active subscription for the new user and do a subscription "upgrade" in a new account hook/handler?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...
