# Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is bento.surf?">
    bento.surf is a link-in-bio storefront for creators. It combines a flexible Bento page, social
    and media blocks, analytics, lead capture, and creator commerce.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a website?">
    No. Your public Bento URL works as a standalone creator page. You can also embed it into another
    site or connect your own domain on Pro or Max.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Bento take a percentage of my sales?">
    Bento's platform fee is 0% on every plan. Your connected payment provider may still charge its
    own processing, conversion, dispute, tax, or merchant-of-record fees.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where does creator revenue go?">
    Paid checkout uses the eligible provider account connected by the creator. Settlement is handled
    by that provider rather than a Bento wallet.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use more than one page?">
    Free includes 2 pages, Pro includes 5 pages, and Max includes unlimited pages.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I connect my own domain?">
    Yes, on Pro or Max. Add the hostname in Settings → Domain and follow the CNAME instructions
    Bento displays.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can Bento show live follower counts?">
    Bento shows live public metrics when the provider exposes them and the required integration or
    creator authorization is available. Restricted platforms may show no live number until those
    requirements are met.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are product files public?">
    Digital-product files are kept private and delivered through buyer access after a verified
    order. Do not upload paid files into a public media block.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I cancel creator emails?">
    You can turn off creator tips, product updates, and the weekly digest in Settings → Email.
    Transactional emails for security, purchases, fulfilment, and account changes remain active when
    relevant.
