​
Connect where you get paid

Go to Settings → Payments. Each provider card shows whether it is available, connected, or still awaiting Bento or provider approval.

​
How payments work

  • The creator connects their own eligible provider account.
  • The selected provider handles payment processing and settlement.
  • Bento records the order and controls fulfilment after a verified payment event.
  • Bento’s platform fee is 0% on every plan.
  • The payment provider’s own processing, currency conversion, dispute, tax, or merchant-of-record fees may still apply.

​
Connect a provider

1

Choose a provider

Open its How to connect section and review the requirements.
2

Start the secure connection

Select Connect and complete the provider’s authorization flow.
3

Return to Bento

The provider card should show Connected or Ready.
4

Use it for checkout

Select Use for checkout when the provider supports charges for your product type.
5

Run a test

Use staging or the provider’s test environment before accepting a real payment.
A connected badge does not always mean every checkout type is enabled. Use only a provider that Bento marks ready for checkout, and never publish a paid product before completing a test purchase.
Stripe and PayPal can support direct creator checkout when Bento’s provider configuration is active. Razorpay requires Route/platform approval. Polar availability depends on the supported connection and checkout mode. Dodo is used for Bento’s own Pro billing rather than creator checkout.
