This is the Happ knowledge base - how things actually work inside the platform, written down in plain language. From setting up your account to understanding how payments move, every guide reflects real product behavior, not marketing promises.
We cover onboarding, agreements, milestones, payment processing, fees, and the financial logic that ties it all together. Whether you're a freelancer trying to understand your payout timeline or a developer building on top of Happ, this is your reference point.
Everything here is structured for humans first — but precise enough to power the AI and automation behind the scenes. Clear documentation makes better software, better decisions, and fewer confusing moments.
This library grows as Happ grows. If something's missing, tell us.
