The story

The Bento Buzz is a Queensland-based specialist retailer selling lunch boxes and drink bottles, operating both an online store (thebentobuzz.com.au) and a physical Gold Coast location. The business adopted Afterpay in 2018 as an embedded BNPL checkout option, resulting in a reported 58% increase in average order value over approximately seven years of use. The company ships across Australia and New Zealand, with AUD and NZD currency support.
