    Yes. A Business plan is required.

    We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose for eCommerce sites.

    You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

    The Business upgrade includes:
    • Google analytics
    • Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
    • SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
    • The ability to install most plugins including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes.

    How domain mapping works
    Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started

    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

    The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.

    Howdy :)

    If you’re not looking to upgrade to Business quite yet you can setup a PayPal button on a free site. This is pretty simple but does the trick for some folks.

    Here’s how you do it:

    How embarrassing. The reason I post that tag so other Volunteers know I’m in a thread and our answers do not overlap. I must have forgot to remove them myself. If you still see them in any thread it was my oversight so the answer is, yes please remove any you spot.

    Perfect, I just wanted to check in with you about that incase you were using it for tracking of some kind. Hope you’re doing well!

    Tracking? Who me? No way. lol :D
    I don’t even subscribe to threads. I mark some I don’t have answers for as favorites so I don’t the email that comes along with subscribing.

    [off-topic] Is it possible to have one’s favorites completely purged? The one at a time deletion is so cumbersome that I have 1095 that I’d love to be shed of. [/off-topic]
