Problem
Startups and SaaS companies often struggle with complex payment integrations, delayed fund availability, and hidden fees, which can divert resources from product development and growth.
Solution
Caramelou offers a payment platform designed specifically for SaaS and early‑stage startups, providing instant PIX and credit‑card processing without setup or monthly fees. The service is accessed through a lightweight REST API and webhook system that can be integrated with minimal code, delivering secure, PCI‑compliant transactions and automatic fraud protection. Payments are settled in real time, and a built‑in dashboard supplies live sales, customer, and subscription analytics, enabling businesses to monitor revenue metrics such as average ticket size, LTV, and active customer rates. Recurring billing support allows subscription models alongside one‑off payments, all managed through a single interface so companies can focus on product innovation rather than payment logistics.
