Set up your App

Link your Canva App to CanUp and create your first action.

New App

My Canva App

New Action

enhance-design

Each action can have server-side code. Write and deploy it from the dashboard editor.

Production-ready,
instantly.

Credits, subscriptions, cloud backend —
all enabled.

That's the whole setup. No infra. No accounts. No DevOps.

Add CanUp to your App

Drop in two React components. Credits, billing, and upgrade prompts — handled.

App.tsx
import { ActionButton, CreditCounter } from "canup";

<ActionButton
  action="enhance-design"
  onResult={({ result }) => applyEnhancement(result.enhanced)}
>
  Enhance
</ActionButton>
<CreditCounter action="enhance-design" />

Pricing is a conversation.

You're early — and you're trusting our infra with your business.

We take that seriously. Pricing changes for early customers happen in a conversation, not an announcement. If something we propose doesn't work for you, we work it out together. For as long as you're here.

— Cesco, founder

Building on Canva? Let's talk.

Every early customer talks to a real person. Pricing, integration, what you need to ship — tell us what you're building.
