Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help artists?

Happ is the homebase for independent artists. It brings all your Collaborations into one mobile-first workspace - contracts, payments, and billing. Pricing and contract terms draw on the entire creator network, so you quote from real data. Document commission scope and milestones, retain reproduction and exhibition rights, and set resale terms.

How do I structure a commission agreement?

Your agreement defines scope, medium, dimensions, delivery timeline, and payment milestones. Approval stages ensure alignment before final delivery.

Can I retain reproduction rights after selling a piece?

Yes. Your agreement can transfer physical ownership while retaining reproduction, licensing, and exhibition rights.

What if a Collaborator wants to resell my work?

Resale terms can include artist's resale royalties, notification requirements, and right of first refusal.

Do I need a contract for a commission?

Yes. Happ's Smart Legal Terms surfaces clauses for scope, reproduction rights, exhibition, and resale, and you decide which apply. Happ suggests, you decide.

How much should I charge for a commission?

Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price a commission with real market context. You set the number.

How do artists invoice clients and get paid?

Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - milestones from approval to delivery - paid straight through Happ. Happ never takes a commission on your work; the only cost is a standard payment processing fee that depends on how your Collaborator pays, always shown to you upfront.

How does Happ keep track of all my Collaborators and Collaborations?

Every Collaborator is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history.
