Bento (acquired by Patreon) popularised the elegant bento grid. If you only want a pretty showcase, it's a fine choice. But the moment you want to sell — a PDF, coaching, a course — Bento can't do it. LinkyStore offers bento-style templates AND direct zero-commission payments.

Why creators switch
Bento style without the glass ceiling
LinkyStore's "Bento" template reproduces the grid — and every tile can become a product, a booking or an email capture.
A showcase that takes payments
Built-in Stripe, 0% commission: visitors buy without leaving the page. Bento sends them to external links.
Analytics and growth included
Real-time clicks, sources, conversions + Instagram automations to grow the audience.
