Most Common Questions

  • Can I reply to my audience through Buffer?

    Buffer manages your publishing and analytics. We do have a separate product, Reply, which allows you to engage with your audience on Twitter & Facebook.

  • Can I bulk upload my posts to Buffer?

    Yes! Buffer intergrates with a tool called Bulk Buffer, which allows you to bulk upload your posts and save even more time.

  • What payment methods does Buffer accept?

    Buffer accepts all major credit cards and pre-paid cards. You can also pay through your iTunes account. Unfortunately we are not able to accept payments via PayPal nor are we able to issue invoices and receive checks as payment. We're really sorry for the limitations there. We'd love to explore more payment methods in the future!

Buffer's 2017 in numbers

▾ What happened in 2017?

1
New Salary Formula
Every few years we iterate on our salary formula, which we use to calculate all Buffer salaries. We also publish the formula and salaries transparently. The latest update to the formula included a remote-first emphasis with benchmarks based on a single city, San Francisco.
Check out the Salary Formula!

Learning Sabbaticals
For the first time at Buffer we experimented with learning sabbaticals: multi-month time off for current teammates to develop the skillsets they need to move to other roles. Two teammates took a learning sabbatical in 2017, acquiring skills for design and engineering.

All Hands
Being a fully-distributed, worldwide team makes our company-wide All Hands meetings a bit tricky to schedule but oh-so worth it to see everyone together. We had five All Hands in 2017 and are on a consistent bimonthly cadence. Plus, we experimented with smaller All Hands that highlight one team within Buffer, and we had two of those this past year: product and marketing.

Days closed
In 2016, we closed Buffer for two days at the end of year to give our team an extra break. This year we took it a step further and closed Buffer from December 25 to January 1, giving the team six business days off.

Thank You!

It’s been a year of many numbers and milestones, as well as much learning within the team. While it is fun to browse our annual progress in terms of numbers here, at the front of our minds as we closed out 2017 were the customers we are lucky enough to have using Buffer.

It is you, the customers, who we exist to serve and who allow us to have great jobs and do fulfilling, interesting work. For that, I want to say thank you on behalf of the whole team.
