  I already purchased the woocommerce. I already have an account with authorize.net
  Why do I need to pay $300 to add the woocommerce plug in?

  Hi @nlds2020, WooCommerce itself is free.

  eCommerce level hosting generally isn’t free, though. If you want to host the site here, you will need our Business plan, because outside plugins and themes add complexity to our support and maintenance.

  This service includes SSL, direct WordPress support, maintenance, security, and many other features that tend to cost extra with other providers.

  Or, you are welcome to use your own free copy of WordPress
  (and WooCommerce) with hosting you purchase elsewhere. You’ll want SSL support, and be mindful you’ll be arranging for your own maintenance, backups, support, etc. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
