  I want to use the order form plugin from POWr, not ecommerce just the basic order form, on a WordPress site. Do I need to pay for a Pressable site or can I just pay for a basic WordPress personal site? Also, do I need to find my own host or does the personal level account provide hosting?

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

  Hey there,

  I want to use the order form plugin from POWr, not ecommerce just the basic order form, on a WordPress site.

  Here at WordPress.com, you can’t install a third- party plugin like POWr. All of the plugins available to us are already installed. You can read about them here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  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 can sell individual items on your site and send your customers to a PayPal payment screen.

  Do I need to pay for a Pressable site or can I just pay for a basic WordPress personal site?

  Another option, like you mentioned, 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:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Also, do I need to find my own host or does the personal level account provide hosting?

  Hosting is provided with all WordPress.com plans (even the free one!)

  If you have any more questions, ask away!
