<Steps> <Step> ### Get your Polar credentials
To use Polar sign in, you need to create an OAuth 2.0 Client. You can get your credentials from the [Polar User Settings](https://polar.sh/dashboard/account/developer).

1. Go to your [Polar User Settings](https://polar.sh/settings#oauth)

2. Click "Create OAuth Client"

3. Fill in the required fields:
   * **Application Name**: The name shown to users during authorization
   * **Client Type**: Choose the appropriate client type for your application
   * **Redirect URIs**: Set to `http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/polar` for local development. For production, set it to `https://yourdomain.com/api/auth/callback/polar`. If you change the base path of the auth routes, update the redirect URI accordingly.
   * **Scopes**: Select the permissions your application needs (openid, profile, email are default)
   * **Homepage URL**: Your application's main URL

4. Optionally, add:
   * Logo for your application
   * Terms of service URL
   * Privacy policy URL

5. After creation, copy the Client ID and Client Secret to your environment variables. Keep these credentials secure.
</Step> <Step> ### Configure the provider
To configure the provider, you need to import the provider and pass it to the `socialProviders` option of the auth instance.

```ts title="auth.ts"
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"

export const auth = betterAuth({
    socialProviders: {
        polar: { // [!code highlight]
            clientId: process.env.POLAR_CLIENT_ID as string, // [!code highlight]
            clientSecret: process.env.POLAR_CLIENT_SECRET as string, // [!code highlight]
        }, // [!code highlight]
    },
})
```
</Step> <Step> ### Sign In with Polar
To sign in with Polar, you can use the `signIn.social` function provided by the client, where the `provider` should be set to `polar`.

```ts title="auth-client.ts"
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/client"
const authClient = createAuthClient()

const signIn = async () => {
    const data = await authClient.signIn.social({
        provider: "polar"
    })
}
```
</Step> </Steps>
