About Creem: A more developer-friendly payment solution
I’ve recently been integrating overseas payment methods into my SaaS product.
At first, I tried Stripe, Paddle, and Lemon Squeezy, but in the end, Creem was the one that was truly implemented.
The reason is simple:
- Stripe is not user-friendly for individual developers.
- Paddle’s review process is biased.
- Uncertainty increased after Lemon Squeezy was acquired.
- Creem, on the other hand, seems to be a solution specifically designed for independent developers.
But to be honest.
Creem is not something you can use simply by registering.
During the integration process, I encountered numerous pitfalls related to approval, KYC, website compliance, and product descriptions.
In this article, I want to write a complete account of these issues:
