Transactional email FAQs
How fast are transactional sends delivered?
Most messages are delivered in seconds. We use dedicated infrastructure to keep transactional email fast and reliable.
Can we integrate through SMTP and API?
Yes. You can send through standard SMTP or direct API endpoints based on your existing stack.
Do we get visibility into delivery events?
Yes. You can see the status of every email you sent, whether it was delivered, opened, bounced, or clicked.
Can Bento help improve our deliverability?
Yes. You get built-in tools for reputation monitoring, email authentication, and list hygiene, plus guidance from our team.
Is there a separate cost for transactional email?
Transactional Email is a standalone plan priced by monthly send volume, not contact count. The first 100 emails each month are free, followed by a $5/month minimum through 12,500 emails and $0.09 per 1,000 emails above that.
Can I use Bento for both marketing and transactional email?
Yes, that is the whole point. One platform for product emails, marketing campaigns, and transactional messages. No separate tools to manage.
How do I manage transactional email templates?
You can build and preview templates inside Bento before deploying them. Changes are versioned so you can roll back if something breaks.
What happens if a transactional email bounces?
Hard bounces are automatically suppressed so you do not keep hitting a dead address. Bounce events are logged and available through webhooks so your app can react in real time.
What languages and SDKs do you support?
We have official SDKs for Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go, and PHP. You can also send through standard SMTP from any language or framework.
Can I send from multiple domains?
Yes. You can configure multiple sending domains in one account. Each domain gets its own authentication records and reputation tracking.
Is there a sandbox or test mode?
Yes. You can send test emails and preview templates without affecting your production sending or reputation.
Does transactional email share reputation with marketing sends?
You can separate transactional and marketing traffic by Site and sending subdomain so each stream builds its own reputation. Bento can also help high-volume senders choose the right IP strategy.

Send your first 100 emails free, then scale with predictable volume pricing.
