Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help developers?

Happ is the homebase for independent developers. 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. Define deliverables by feature or sprint, keep your proprietary code, and structure milestone payments from kickoff to launch.

Do I have to hand over all my code?

Your agreement defines what's delivered (the project codebase) and what's retained (your proprietary libraries, frameworks, and tools).

How do I handle scope changes during development?

A change-order clause documents new requirements and their cost. The Collaborator approves before work begins.

How should I structure milestone payments for a dev project?

Align milestones with your workflow: wireframe approval, alpha build, beta testing, final launch.

Do I need a contract for a dev project?

Yes. Happ's Smart Legal Terms surfaces clauses for code ownership, scope, change orders, and milestones, and you decide which apply. Happ suggests, you decide.

How much should I charge for a dev project?

Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price by project, sprint, or day rate with real market context. You set the number.

How do developers invoice clients and get paid?

Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - milestones from kickoff to launch - 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.
