Community & Forums — Permission Base
All features
Community & Content

Own your audience. Don't rent it.

Every social network gives you reach — then takes a cut of the relationship. Permission Base gives you every tool those platforms have, but you own all of it: the data, the connections, the conversations.

From monologue to dialogue.

Without community, you're speaking at your fans. With Permission Base, your fans talk with you — and with each other.

Your data. Your domain. Your rules.

No algorithm. No platform suspension risk. Your community lives on your domain, under your control, forever.

Every social feature — on your platform

All the tools of a social network, without the tradeoffs.

Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix don't give you community. Permission Base is the only all-in-one that does — with every social feature built in and fully integrated with your store and rewards program.

Friending & Profiles

Members build real profiles and connect with each other — a genuine social graph on your platform.

Chat & Direct Messages

Private messaging between members keeps conversations happening inside your platform, not on a competitor's app.

Forums & Discussions

Threaded forum discussions let your community debate, advise, and connect around topics that matter to them.

Groups

Sub-communities for interest clusters, product lines, or member tiers — groups let your audience self-organize.

Blogs & Status Updates

Members and admins can post long-form blogs or quick status updates — a feed of real content, not algorithmic noise.

Surveys & Polls

Ask your community anything. Polls and surveys surface insights directly from the people who matter most.

Location Check-in

Members earn Reward points by checking in at your location — bridging your digital community with your physical presence.

Photos & Albums

Members share photos and build albums — user-generated content that makes your community feel alive.

Video & Playlists

Upload and organize video content into playlists — your video library, hosted on your platform.

Audio Playlists

Share audio content with your community — podcasts, music, interviews — all organized in playlists on your site.

Content Sharing

Members share content from across your platform — keeping discovery and engagement happening within your ecosystem.

Comments & Reactions

Every piece of content supports comments and reactions — the engagement signals that make a community feel real.

Why ownership changes everything

Your fans belong to you, not the platform.

Renting reach from social platforms is a losing deal.

When you build your community on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, the platform owns the relationship. They can limit your reach, change the algorithm, suspend your account, and sell your audience's data to your competitors. Permission Base gives you every social tool — but it's all yours.

Facebook / Instagram ✕ Algorithm controls your reach
TikTok ✕ Platform owns fan relationship
YouTube ✕ Your data monetizes their ads
Shopify / Squarespace ✕ No community features at all
Permission Base ✓ You control every touchpoint

Feeds into Rewards

Every post, comment, poll response, and check-in earns points automatically. Community and Rewards work together — no setup required.

Connected to your Store

Your community and your storefront share the same platform. Customers discover, discuss, and buy without ever leaving your site.

Feeds Email Campaigns

Every new community member is automatically added to your email list — building your direct marketing audience with every signup.

Connects to Events

Community members see your upcoming events, buy tickets, and earn Rewards for attending — the full lifecycle in one platform.

Fan-to-fan connections

Your fans don't just follow you — they connect with each other, building a community that sustains itself and keeps coming back.

All on your domain

No third-party embeds. No data leakage. Your community lives where you sell — under one roof, on your terms, on your URL.

Your fan data belongs to you

Every member profile, every interaction, every message — your data never feeds an ad network or gets sold to your competitors.

No other platform in our space does this. Shopify, Squarespace, Wix — none of them give you a living, breathing community. Permission Base is the only all-in-one that does.
