  I want to add a shopping cart and a link to paypal to my blog to sell my book. My blog is about being an author. I’ve tried to figure out how to do it but I haven’t been able to work it out.

  I have seen plugins that allow this but when I searched the help it said plugins are not allowed.

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

  Hi there –

  You’re welcome to sell your book from your blog, and you can use a PayPal button on your blog in this way:

  We don’t have any kind of shopping cart functionality. Many author sites on WordPress.com seem to do just fine with the PayPal button, but if you definitely need a shopping cart, too, you might look into moving to a self-hosted WordPress site. You can read about the differences here:

  Let me know if you have further questions! :)
