Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Happ help entertainers?
Happ is the homebase for independent entertainers. 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. Confirm every booking with deposits and kill fees, set rates by event type, and document your technical and hospitality riders.
- How do I handle different rates for different event types?
Your agreement defines the rate for the specific engagement. Corporate, private, and festival bookings each have their own structure.
- What if the event organizer changes the performance time?
Your agreement includes set-duration and scheduling terms. Changes trigger additional fees or rescheduling rights.
- Can I require specific conditions for my performance space?
Yes. A technical and hospitality rider documents staging, sound, lighting, and hospitality requirements.
- What happens if a booking gets postponed instead of cancelled?
Postponements beyond your defined window are treated as new bookings - requiring fresh confirmation and a new deposit. The original date is released.
- How much should I charge as an entertainer?
Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price a private event, a corporate function, or a festival with real market context. You set the number.
- How do entertainers invoice clients and get paid?
Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - deposit on booking, balance before the event - 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 help me manage multiple bookings and venues?
Every booker, event company, venue, and agent is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history. No more lost threads or forgotten contacts.
