Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Creem.
We picked today on purpose. September 17 is Creem's founding anniversary, so shipping Creem 2.0 on the same day felt right.
The thesis in three lines:
Building a product went from months to a weekend. Getting paid for it did not.
As AI collapses the cost of building, the winners are the ones who monetize and grow fastest, not the ones who code fastest.
So we took the merchant of record and turned it into a full commerce surface: checkout on your own domain, billing built for the AI era, flexible affiliates, short links, and a CLI your agent can drive to set up, run and monitor your store end to end.
Build with AI. Sell with Creem. We are the seller of record, so we handle payments, taxes and payouts across 190+ countries, and you only pay when you earn (3.9% + 40c, no monthly fees).
The part I am most excited about: billing that finally fits the AI era. Credit wallets, usage based pricing, custom meters, no 30 pages of docs. Your agent sets it up in a prompt and keeps running and monitoring the store after. You built it in a weekend; charging for it should feel like a weekend too.
And we are going all in: today we are also announcing that we raised €5M to build the next generation financial OS for the lean, modern teams building with AI. This launch is what that money is going toward.
To celebrate, we have a launch day gift. Sign up and complete onboarding today and redeem the code CREEMPHBIRTHDAY (live only today): your first $10,000 in volume is processed with 0% fees, and you get 0% fees on affiliates for life. Finish onboarding today to lock it in, approval can come after.
Zooming out for a second: we believe companies will start looking more like a code repository instead of an org-chart with a payroll, so our mission is to let lean teams of humans and AI agents do business globally, so anyone with an idea can sell and grow from day one. Creem 2.0 is the first real proof of that, agents doing actual business, not just writing code. The raise is so we can go all the way with it.
I'll be here all day. Ask me anything: the merchant of record model, pricing, what actually shipped in 2.0, or where we are taking it next. Real questions and hard feedback both welcome, that is how the last two launches made us better.
@sudoferraz How difficult is the setup for developer launching their first product ?
@sudoferraz @dipanshu_kushwaha5 Really easy. With the Creem CLI, ChatGPT set up all my products and pricing in minutes and integrated them into my App. After that, the Creem team reviews your app, which takes up to two days.
So I’d say you can realistically go from signup to launch in 1-3 days.
@sudoferraz @dipanshu_kushwaha5 I can say it was easy, I did have grok walk me through every step of the way, but it was fairly quick
Creem
@sudoferraz @dipanshu_kushwaha5 Not difficult at all! Personally I was set up in under 24 hours. The closer you align to the account reviews page and make sure you have everything nice and neat; the faster it goes.

@sudoferraz I've been Creem.io user for several months now, I confirm that platform is awesome, payments run smooth and tax/VAT is solved for me - less stress. And the founder (Gab) responds quickly!
Congrats and keep doing your work, i'm with you to sell my products
Creem
@almasabulkhairov Thank you so much for the kind words Almas!
As you are an active customer, anything you would like to flag to our team as next items we should be tackling to help you and your product scale faster?
@sudoferraz The implementation of the affiliate portal and revenue sharing makes this product stand out from the competition.
Is an MCP available, Gabriel?
Creem
@csaba_kissi Hey Csaba, happy to see you around here!
Thanks for supporting us during our launch, and I'm super proud that you are a CREEM customer already!
Yess, we do have a fully covered MCP and CLI, so it's really up to you and your stack to decide which one to use with your agent.
Are you currently using a third party harness? What's your current AI stack now?
PageAI
@sudoferraz this is epic, love to see it! Congrats on the launch 🚀
Creem
@dan_mindru Thanks dan!
I remember you from previous launches! haha
It's great to see you hear again! I think it's quite clear how much we improved CREEM in such a short time right? 😁
Let me know if there's any feedback to share with us, and would love to hear from such an early follower!
PageAI
@sudoferraz haha you can count on me.
man you've been shipping like there's no tomorrow. It's a completely different product now and all the AI features are a banger!
@sudoferraz Congrats on the raise! Creem looks very interesting!Sales while you sleep! Would love to connect and see a demo!
Creem
@dimneo Hi Dim, absolutely!
How could we reach out to you? Alternatively feel free to schedule a demo through creem.io/contact
Ready Player Me Halloween Edition
Looks awesome! What do I need to do to start accepting payments?
Creem
Thanks @timmutoke Sign up at creem.io build your products in test mode, then submit your store for verification and you are ready to go live! Was anything in the docs unclear on how to get started? Happy to fix it.
Can I embed the checkout inside my app? I don't want to send people off to another page right at the moment they're about to pay.
Creem
@karlis_abele Yes, Karlis! Iframe embed with React, Vue and Svelte wrappers. Apple Pay and affiliate attribution work inside the embed.
Congrats on the launch & funding! Quick q: Can a monthly subscription come with, like, 500 credits that reset every month? That's basically my whole pricing model.
Creem
@janergorohhov Yes. Credits as a product feature: auto-grant on purchase and on every renewal, clawed back on refund. You can also set up auto refill if customers should run low before the next renewal cycle.
Hey guys, looks great. Me and two friends share revenue on one product and right now it's a monthly "who owes who" spreadsheet fight. Can Creem just split it for us?
Creem
Thank you for your comment @yusuf_demir13 !
Yes🍦 Splits with any number of recipients, per product or store-wide, each with their own dashboard and payouts. And refunds claw back each party's share.
Creem
@aleksandra_bogomola
Not a dumb question at all - that's exactly the issue we're solving!
The Affiliate payouts run through Creem's payout infrastructure automatically.
Hey, nice upgrade! Glad to see the hard work you do for the product!
Currently finalizing my own SaaS product, I have to say integrating Creem was really easy, and support had been great when I needed help!
Looking forward to use the embedded checkout feature, but that will wait after the launch!
Creem
@napryc That's amazing to hear!
Now it will be much easier! In fact our aim here is that if you don't want, you will not need to even open the CREEM website to use the product :)
The Embedded checkout feature is live! Let me know if you face any issues with integrating with it, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
