  Hi, I’m trying to add Woocommerce to my site but I can’t seem to do so. Are there specific themes I have to select for this to be enabled under plugins?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  Here at WordPress.com, all of the plugins available to us are already installed. You can read about them here:

  While there isn’t a true e-commerce solution here at WordPress.com, you can always get a PayPal button. If you get a PayPal button, you’ll be able to sell individual items on your site and send your customers to a PayPal payment screen.

  Another option is to self- host with a WordPress.org install. Third- party plugins can be installed if you self-host, but you are much more responsible for the technical upkeep of the site. You can read about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  If you have any more questions, ask away!

  Thanks! Can I switch easily from WordPress.com to WordPress.org easily? Is it just a matter of registering my domain with a web host?

  It’s slightly more complicated than registering your domain with a new host, but there is a stellar guide that will help you through it!
