Sell, take bookings and get paid from your link in bio, without a percentage of every sale going to the page you sell from. Customers pay in the app they already use.
In its own words
Beacons is a full creator toolkit with a real free plan, a store and appointments. The difference is the fee on sales: 9% on its Free and Creator plans, until you pay $30 a month for Creator Plus. Here, payments in Cash App, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle carry no fee from us on any plan.

Yes, on every plan. Downloads are handed over on the order page once they are paid, and clients book a time with a deposit or the full price.
