CREEM Changelog - July: Summer Shipping Season
July was about giving you more ways to get paid, more room to grow, and a checkout that keeps getting sharper. New payment methods went live, the developer API grew up, affiliates got smarter, and disputes got a whole lot less painful. Let's dig in 👇
💳 Alipay Is Live at Checkout
More ways for your customers to pay. Alipay is now available on one-time checkouts, riding on our payment orchestration engine, with the right method shown automatically and displayed cleanly across your dashboard and order views. Another payment method down, more on the way.
🧷 Embed Creem Anywhere: Sell & Buy Buttons
Take Creem out into the world with a set of embeddable snippets you drop straight into your own site.
Sell with Creem badge to credit Creem and capture referral attribution
Buy with Creem button that opens checkout right from your product page or docs
Powered by Creem badge for a clean trust signal
Find them in Balances → Referrals and per product in your dashboard.
🛠️ A Bigger, Better Developer API
The API grew up this month.
Full CRUD for Products and Prices so you can create, read, update, and archive products programmatically
Refund a payment via API with a single transaction ID call, no manual steps
Read only Affiliate API to list partners, pull summaries, and read commissions
framer.com official plugin released added
More reliable and data rich webhooks
🛡️ Disputes, Handled Properly
Chargebacks used to be booked as an automatic loss the moment they landed. Now they run through a real lifecycle.
Full dispute lifecycle: disputes open as pending, and a win is treated as a win instead of being silently swallowed
Dispute email alerts the moment a dispute arrives, with the order context, the card network reason, and a window to reply with evidence
Less guesswork, fewer losses by default.
🎯 Smarter Affiliate & Discount Tooling
Flexible commission terms: one time or recurring, duration caps, and fixed amount payouts, so you can turn on an affiliate program without committing to lifetime revenue share
Assign discount codes to affiliates, and affiliates now see their own code
Affiliate Hub upgrades: a Code Uses column and channel aware conversion rates, so code-driven partners no longer read as 0%
Remove partners from the Affiliate Hub when you need to
Discount code attributed affiliate sales now pay out correctly
Search your discount codes list to find any promo fast
✨ Product & Checkout Upgrades
Multi image product gallery with up to 8 images, drag to reorder, and a cover badge, plus a cross fade gallery on checkout
Embedded checkout polish: overlay modal uses full desktop space, sturdier embed detection so framed checkout never self redirects, and affiliate attribution that survives internal navigation
WebP product images are now supported, with clearer upload failure messages
