Payment Options

Card, bank transfer, buy now pay later, one-click checkout - every major payment method available. You choose what to offer. Your Collaborator chooses how to pay. Powered by Stripe.

Who This Is For

For every Creator who wants to get paid without friction - however their Collaborator prefers to pay.

Creators working with commercial clients and agencies Larger clients often prefer ACH bank transfers or card payments with a paper trail. Happ supports both - with automatic invoicing and receipts attached.
Creators working with first-time Collaborators A Collaborator who's never paid digitally needs familiar options. Card, Link one-click checkout, and Afterpay installments remove every barrier to getting that first payment done.
Creators working internationally Wire Transfer handles cross-border payments cleanly. No awkward conversations about how to get money across borders.
Creators who want one place for everything Every payment - however it was made - lives in your Homebase. Your financial history, always complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payment methods are available through Happ?

Happ supports Card payments (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH Direct Debit, Afterpay (buy now, pay later), Link (Stripe one-click checkout), and Wire Transfer — all processed through Stripe.

What is ACH and how is it different from card?

ACH Direct Debit pulls payment directly from your Collaborator’s US bank account. It has lower fees than card (0.8%, max $2–$5 depending on your plan) but takes 2–4 business days to settle. Best for larger contracts where fee savings matter.

What is Afterpay and how does it work for me?

Afterpay lets your Collaborator split their payment into 4 interest-free installments. You receive the full payment amount upfront from Afterpay — they collect from your Collaborator directly. Only available for US-based Collaborators.

What is Link?

Link is Stripe’s one-click checkout. Collaborators who have previously saved their payment details with Stripe can pay instantly without re-entering information. Makes repeat payments completely frictionless.

Do Apple Pay and Google Pay work on desktop too?

Apple Pay works on Safari on Mac and iPhone. Google Pay works on Chrome and Android. For most creative Collaborations happening on mobile, both will be available and ready to use.

Are there payment fees?

Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay: 3.5% (Free plan), 3% (Pro & Enterprise). ACH Direct Debit: 0.8% with a max of $5 (Free), $3 (Pro), or $2 (Enterprise). Wire Transfer fees depend on your bank. Afterpay fees are handled by Afterpay directly.
