What is Creem?
Creem is an all-in-one platform built specifically for SaaS companies and indie hackers who want to sell software globally—without getting buried in payment processing, tax forms, or compliance headaches. Instead of stitching together multiple tools for subscriptions, taxes, and payouts, Creem handles it all in one place, so you can focus on building your product.
Whether you're a solo founder or a growing startup, Creem simplifies the complex parts of running a digital business: global payments, automated tax compliance, revenue splits, affiliate programs, and license key management—all with transparent, flat-rate pricing. No surprise fees, no legal guesswork, just smooth operations from day one.
What are the features of Creem?
- Merchant of Record (MoR): Creem acts as the legal seller in 100+ countries, handling VAT, sales tax filing, and remittance so you don’t have to.
- Revenue Splits: Automatically distribute earnings to co-founders, partners, or contractors—supporting bank accounts and crypto wallets like USDC.
- Built-in Affiliate Platform: Launch, track, and pay affiliates in minutes with customizable commissions and automatic payouts.
- AI Business Assistant: Ask plain-English questions like “What’s my MRR?” or “Who are my top customers?” and get instant insights powered by GPT-4.
- Global Payments & Checkout: Accept cards, SEPA, digital wallets, and more with a high-converting, localized checkout experience.
- Digital Product Tools: Generate license keys, offer free trials, create discount codes, and deliver secure file downloads—all natively.
- Developer-Friendly APIs: Go live fast with clean SDKs (TypeScript), webhooks, and AI-ready documentation that integrates directly into coding assistants like Cursor or Claude.
