  Themes that are bought externally are not able to be imported to the WordPress.COM site, only WordPress.ORG sites. What this means is that only internal themes are available to those who use WordPress.com as their host.

  However, if you were to move your domain to a web host (like Bluehost or HostGator), you would be able to use third-party themes by uploading it through the FTP into the website that’s hosting your WordPress.org software plugin.
