  Hello,
  
  A Getting Started Guide for the Commerce Plan is available here: https://wordpress.com/support/navigating-the-ecommerce-plan a great page to research before upgrading.

  Check out the section called Customize your Store: https://wordpress.com/support/navigating-the-ecommerce-plan/#customize-your-store – here you can find templates you can use.
  
  You will also get access to the AI website builder that will allow you to naturally describe what you want (a prompt) and have it created for you. Learn more here: https://wordpress.com/support/ai-website-builder

  When you buy the Commerce plan on WordPress.com, you’re getting:

  A home for your website (hosting) and a free domain for the first year

  • Tools to sell products or services (both physical and digital)
  • Built-in payment options like PayPal and Stripe
  • Access to premium themes so you can design your site
  • 24/7 live chat and email support if you get stuck

  The catch is — they won’t actually build the site for you.
  Their support team will guide you, answer questions, and show you how to use the tools, but you’ll still be the one doing the setup and design.

  If you want someone to do all the heavy lifting — creating pages, uploading products, and polishing the design — WordPress.com offers a paid “Built by WordPress.com” service (usually starting around $499). Or you could hire a freelancer to do it for you.

  Basically: the Commerce plan gives you everything you need to build a store, but the building is in your hands unless you pay extra for done-for-you help.
