Hi there,
You can indeed create an online store using WordPress.com. The Business Plan will likely make the most sense with what you are wanting to do because, with that Plan, you have the ability to install themes and plugins:
WooCommerce is the software we normally suggest if you’re wanting to build your store on WordPress.com – it is free to download and install. For more information on our eCommerce options, please visit:

Ok thank
One more question
It would be my first time doing an online store so I don’t know how the process works? Also as far as purchases deliveries etc
I just don’t wanna create the site and not know what I’m doing
Also do you have to have a license to sell online

Hi, I have been watching webinars about the WooCommerce plugin, you can find them on youtube. This really helped me a lot to understand the WooCommerce plugin before buying the Business Plan. I’m also still setting up my online store. Here is the link for the playlist:
About the license, I think terms and policies change depending on your jurisdiction. Thins link might help you with terms of service, policy, etc:

You may want to consider attending one of our free WooCommerce webinars here as well: https://wordpress.com/webinars/
The videos on YouTube do not include the live Q&A session that follows (for attendees only) and its a great way to get questions about WooCommerce answered, as well as benefit from the questions that are asked by other attendees.
Also do you have to have a license to sell online
Typically you do need a business license to do any kind of buying and selling wether it’s online or a physical store. We mention it in our guide here: https://woocommerce.com/posts/how-to-start-an-online-business/
Of course our word is not gospel so I’d check with your local SBA as they likely have a better understanding of what is recommended in your case: https://www.sba.gov/local-assistance
Let us know if you need further assistance or if you have any questions.
