The ShipStation Community Forums are available for all ShipStation users to discuss all things ShipStation! While you don't need to be signed into ShipStation to view our Knowledge Base, since the Community Forum is intended specifically for users, in order to view and post to the Community Forums you must first be signed into your ShipStation account.
Once signed in, you'll be able to access the Community Forums topics and posts on the Community Forum page.
Note: The previous ShipStation forum (forums.shipstation.com) is being retired as of November 1st, 2017. The new Community Forums page is directly integrated into the ShipStation help center, making getting help even easier! We can even create a support ticket for any issue discussed on the Community Forum that requires official ShipStation support or troubleshooting!
Before posting, please review the Forum Rules and Terms of Use.
You can contribute to a topic by clicking New Post, then selecting the topic from the drop down in the new post form.
To comment on an existing post, simply add a comment to the post.
All posts and comments are subject to approval by our Community Forum moderators. Any official comment from one of our moderators will be marked "Official Comment" in the comments section.
You can follow topics and posts if you want to be alerted to any new posts in the topic or comments on a specific post, and you can vote on posts to let other users know whether you found the post useful or not.
Additionally, when you search the Knowledge Base and you are signed in to your ShipStation account, both Knowledge Base articles and Community Post topics will show in the results page.
