    So I was recently introduced to wordpress and would like to build a specific website that allows my customers to ship packages. Can wordpress do this?

    Hi! Anything is possible, though you might need to hire a developer to write a custom plugin for you. I am not aware of one that does this, but there are developers out there. You might try UpWork.com, or an agency.

    Think of WordPress like the base for your site, and the plugins as the stuff that you can add into it. The code is open source and there’s a whole codex of the tools you can use to develop with it.

    One thing we will want to clarify: WordPress.com (the service, that’s us) is different from WordPress.org (the free software and its community).

    If you have outside plugins you’d like to install on our managed hosting service, 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 with another host, and use community resources or hired contractors as needed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
