Why Trust Us
We don't ask you to trust us. We ask you to trust the infrastructure we're built on.
Built on Titans
Cerul doesn't reinvent the wheel. We orchestrate three industry leaders that already power millions of businesses:
Stripe
Payments & Billing
Processes $1T+ annually. Your money goes direct to your Stripe via Connect. We never touch it.
Clerk
Authentication
Trusted by 200K+ apps. Handles sign-up, sign-in, OAuth, MFA. We don't build auth — Clerk does.
Cloudflare
Edge Computing
Powers 20%+ of the web. Sub-50ms worldwide. DDoS protection, CDN, and serverless compute built in.
Security by Default
Zero Cold Starts — Cloudflare Workers are always warm
No SSH Access — Serverless = smaller attack surface
HTTPS Everywhere — All requests encrypted by default
Built-in DDoS Protection — Cloudflare handles it at the edge
Bot Protection — Automated threat blocking
Webhook Signatures — Every Stripe event verified
Idempotency — Duplicate webhooks handled, no double charges
JWT Enforced — Plans verified by signature, unspoofable
PK/SK Separation — Public key safe for frontend, secret key for backend
Key Rotation — Rotate keys anytime without breaking your app
Why Trust Us
You Keep Total Control
Your Stripe Account - You connect YOUR Stripe account via Stripe Connect. All revenue goes directly to you. We never touch your money.
Limited Access - We can only create products/prices on your behalf. That's it. We cannot access your balance, payouts, or customer payment methods.
Easy Dashboard Access - Go to your Stripe Dashboard → Connected Accounts → find "Panacea" → click to see exactly what we can access.
What We Can vs Can't Do

- • Create products and prices
- • Create checkout sessions

✗ We CANNOT

Disconnect Anytime
Remove us from your Stripe account in seconds:
- 1. Go to Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Connected Accounts
- 2. Find "Panacea" in the list
- 3. Click → Remove

Your existing products/prices remain. Your customers are unaffected.
Data Policy
What We Store
