The Creem CLI gives you full control of your store without leaving the terminal. Browse products, customers, subscriptions, and transactions through an interactive interface, or run quick commands for day-to-day operations.

​
Installation

Once installed, run creem to see the full command reference:

The Creem CLI with all available commands.

​
Login

The CLI auto-detects test vs live mode from your key prefix. You can verify your session at any time:
Start in test mode. Use a creem_test_ key while getting familiar with the CLI. Switch to live only when you’re ready for real transactions.

​
Interactive Mode

This is where the CLI really shines. Run any resource command without a subcommand to launch an interactive browser:
You get a full TUI (terminal user interface) where you can browse, search, and drill into records without writing any commands.

​
Browsing Transactions

Interactive transaction browser with amounts, types, and timestamps.

Press Enter on any row to drill into the full detail view:

Transaction detail view showing amount, tax, currency, linked order, subscription, and customer.

​
Managing Subscriptions

Navigate into any subscription to see its full details and take actions directly from the status bar:

Subscription detail view with cancel, pause, and resume actions available from the command bar.

Navigation keys:
  • j/k or arrow keys to move through the list
  • Enter to view details
  • / to search
  • : to open the command bar (cancel, pause, resume)
  • q to go back or exit

​
Quick Commands

For when you need something specific without browsing:
Use --mode scheduled when cancelling subscriptions. This lets the customer keep access until their billing period ends instead of cutting them off immediately.

​
Configuration

Every command also supports --json for one-off JSON output, useful for piping into other tools:
