Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Joosep here
I whisper to the payments system at Creem. I've been squeezing card authorization rates since 2007, at different scalups across PayOps, acquiring, engineering and product. I took a short founder detour until @sudoferraz invited me back to what I like doing: making sure the money arrives.
Most payment setups were built for companies with a finance team, a payments team and a year to integrate. A lot of the people selling on Creem are three founders and a few AI agents selling in 190+ countries. So we've been building for how those teams work: splitting revenue with partners and affiliates, usage-based pricing, paid trials, and more cards approved on the first try.
The thing I'm most excited about is the Partner plan. It's for teams that have outgrown self-serve and want a payments team without hiring one. You get a dedicated account manager on WhatsApp, a weekly payments session with us, faster payouts, 0% fees on splits and affiliates, and a Creem Visa card to spend your balance directly.
I also like the team and the problems we get to work on. On a given day, payments work here goes from negotiating an acquirer contract in the morning to reading decline codes, shipping a fix in code and seeing acceptance move by the evening. The problems are hard and nobody waits for a handoff.
If you have questions about payments, payment methods or acceptance rates, ask them here. I'll be around to answer.
Amazing to see Creem 2.0 being launched. I upvoted the Creem 1.0 back when it launched in 2024 and been seeing you guys working on it ever since. Absolutely a great progress! "Tuult tiibadesse!", as we say in Estonia!
Creem
@peedutuisk Hey Peedu, tysm for the kind words! Means a lot that you've been following the journey since 1.0. What are you working on these days?
PS. Täname toetuse eest!
Creem
@peedutuisk That's so cool to hear!
We should do a better job talking with our Estonian peers haha, at the moment we don't really have a lot of customers from the region, but this should change it soon!!!
Where did you hear about CREEM the first time in 2024?
Love this!! @sudoferraz Indie hackers and builders now have a solid product to rely on and kickstart their businesses. People keep pointing out the same thing: Creem's product is great, but the customer support is also next level.
That's what the biggest brands get right. How you treat customers when they need you.
Keep up the good work, team Creem!
Creem
Thank you! @annika_ljash The idea is that it gets solved in the product before it becomes a ticket, and when it does become one, Eli and Martins step in. What are you building?
Creem
@annika_ljash Hi Annika!
Thank you so much for coming over to our launch here in Product hunt, great to see familiar faces!
Creem
@sudoferraz @annika_ljash thanks for your support, Annika!
A few months ago, I wanted to use your service for TheBold.vc—because you offer users a referral program, which is a rare advantage. But in the end, I used Paddle because your KYC provider doesn't support the country where I'm a citizen 🥲. I hope this is just temporary.
Creem
@juliayugo Oh nooo!
That's very sad to hear Julia!
Which country are you in? Let me bring this into attention with the team and see what we can do asap!
Creem
@juliayugo super sad to hear that - Our COO@toms_creemwill be in contact with you to make sure it gets sorted.
Amazing, I was waiting for something like this for too long!
Creem
@lazarkrstic that means a lot, thanks for the patience!
what's the product you're integrating Creem into?
Console
So much hassle dealing with global compliance and tax, and it's not really something you can just ignore! Great to see how Creem is progressing - amazing product!
Creem
Thanks David, appreciate it! 🙏🏼 Tax and compliance is the boring stuff nobody wants to touch, so we just handle it for you.
You see a lot of tools through Console, what do devs usually get stuck on when they start selling globally?
Creem
@davidmytton ty for the comment and likewise Arcjet is a great product - I can already see how we could simplify your global tax, compliance and overall usage based billing.
Creem
@davidmytton Thank you for the kind words!
Indeed, a lot is hidden in the details!

I love Creem and use it in all my products. Creem is the easiest payment provider to use from Ukraine!
Great job!
Creem
@damienissa Ty, this means a lot! glad Creem works well for you from Ukraine. If you could add one feature to Creem tomorrow, what would it be?
