How would you recommend using Topics?

[willwbowen]

When creating posts, I see there is an option to add a topic. How do you get the best use out of this feature?

Great question! Topics (or 'Labels') are a way to organize and explore Seller Community posts. When you create a post please select the topics that are most relevant to your question/comment. You can click a topic at the bottom of any post to see related threads. I've added Seller Community to this post if you want to take a look!

The topics are added by the Community team so they are either related to Square, e.g. 'Magstripe Reader', or they are related to running a business, e.g. 'Growth Strategies'.

For anyone else reading this here are the steps add a topic/label to your post:

1. Click Start New Thread.
2. Click Add Topic or select a label on the right-hand side. 
3. Select a topic/lable that is relevant to your question/post. 
4. Write your question > then click Post to publish it.
5. At the bottom of your published post click on the topic to see similar threads!

I hope this helps clarify!
