Getting Help From the Portless Support Team

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Welcome to Portless! We are here to ensure your shipping and fulfillment experience is seamless. Whether you need a quick answer from our documentation or personalized assistance from a support agent, this guide outlines the best ways to get the help you need.

Find quick answers in the Help Center

Before reaching out to our team, we recommend visiting the Portless Help Center. Most common questions regarding integration, billing, and shipping already have detailed, step-by-step guides available.

  • Search for answers: Use the search bar to find specific topics or keywords.

  • Browse by category: Navigate through organized sections to learn about different Portless features.

By using the Help Center, you can often resolve your issues immediately without waiting for a response from an agent.

Things to keep in mind

  • We are currently upgrading our systems to improve your experience.

  • Our official Live Chat functionality launches on Monday, March 16th, at 9:00 AM EST.

  • Our human support team is currently standing by and ready to assist you via email and tickets.


Access the Merchant Admin Portal

To ensure your request is routed to the correct team and handled quickly, all support tickets must be submitted through the Merchant Portal.

Before you can submit a ticket, you must be logged into your account. If you are having trouble accessing the portal, please refer to our guide:


Submit a support ticket

If you cannot find your answer in the Help Center, you can contact our support team directly using one of two methods:

Email our team

Send an email to [email protected] with your account details and a description of your issue.

Use the Merchant Portal

  1. Log in to your Merchant Admin Portal.

  2. Click the chat bubble icon located in the lower-right corner of your screen.

  3. Click on Send us a message and type your message into the composer. (Note: While this looks like a chat interface, it creates an email ticket for our team).

  4. Send your message, and an agent will typically respond within one or two hours.


Troubleshooting unable to submit support tickets

If a team member is unable to submit a ticket to our Customer Support Team, it is likely because they do not yet have an active account in the Merchant Portal.

To add a new team member and enable their support privileges, follow our step-by-step guide:
