CurdBee has been our flagship product for five years. We understand our users, because in many ways our journeys have been similar. Today, we take another big step in that journey together. For months we have been talking about a CurdBee 2.0, a new platform that will beat the limitations of CurdBee, and provide our users with many much-requested features . . .

Last week we asked our users to help us prioritize our new payment gateway integrations, and the results are now in.

CurdBee 2.0 will open up to the public soon, and we want to make it as comprehensive as possible. We will make the feature roadmap open as well so that our users can choose what new features get added first. The first step in that direction starts today. Please let us know what new payment gateway you want to be integrated with CurdBee.

There are also many new awesome features that even a name change might be in order!
Read ArticleCurdBee is Five
Five years ago, we launched CurdBee. With no funding, no experience, no marketing or promotions—just a simple app, made by a rookie team, waiting for its users. For weeks, it was just crickets and tumbleweeds at CurdBee. And then Lifehacker happened. Since then we have made constant improvements to CurdBee, and people kept signing up.
Read ArticleThe Bees Are Here
Last weekend I was visited by bees. It was raining heavily, and a few of them were gathered around a flowerpot at home, searching for nectar. I was hopeful, and when I checked after the rain, they had indeed set up home in a place I designed for them, fifteen months ago. The long wait is finally over.
Read ArticlePayvee for CurdBee
Many CurdBee users don’t know about us, Vesess, the company behind the app. We don’t mind that – the app has its own identity and brand after all. Problems arose, however, when they got confused upon seeing an unknown VESESS INC. on their credit card statements, and worse, seeing the state as Nevada. To address this issue, we recently launched Payvee.com.

We talked to our payment processing partners e-onlinedata to gain insights on how an online merchant could avoid these frustrating situations.
