FAQs:
What payment methods do you accept?
Our platform currently supports payments through Stripe, which allows our users to securely and conveniently make payments using their Credit cards and Debit cards.
How do I assign staff members to my community?
To assign staff members to your community, simply select the "Only a certain number of authors can post in the community" option when creating the community. From there, you can choose the author profiles you wish to assign as staff members. This will restrict posting privileges to only those members you have designated, ensuring that a trusted team of individuals manages your community.
Do I own my community and the member data associated with it?
Yes, you own your Hawker community and all of the member data that is associated with it. This means that you have complete control over your community's content, branding, and membership. This ensures that you always have access to your community's data and can use it as needed for your own purposes.
How many members can I have in a Hawker community?
There is no limit to the number of members you can have in a Hawker community. Our platform offers unlimited membership for all users without any additional fees or volume-based pricing. This allows you to grow your community without any restrictions.
