  Hi Sam,

  I would like to sell a product through my wordpress site – what would be the best, and easiest way to do this?

  There are a couple of options for selling products through your site:

  1. PayPal buttons

  With the Free, Personal and Premium plan, you can use PayPal buttons to sell individual items on your site:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/view-all/

  This won’t provide a shopping cart and visitors will be redirected to PayPal to make a purchase. Out of the two options I’m suggesting, this one would involve less initial work.

  2. WooCommerce plugin with the Business plan

  WooCommerce is an eCommerce plugin that can be installed if you have the Business plan. This would provide you with a shopping cart and offer other features such as payment gateways. There is more information on the WooCommerce website:

  This option would take more setting up but it would give you access to more features.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
