Difficult time navigating Ecommerce plan upgrade
-
Hello, Hope you are doing great. I have upgraded to the ecommerce plan yesterday. Although I have been having a very difficult time, especially with domains. So I have 6 domains connected now. I mainly bought the ecommerce plan as it included all the benefits of the business plan which I needed most, though I thought I will give the ecommerce option a try. I have been having a difficult time. 1. Creating a website for my domains. It keeps going back to the free domain provided with my purchase and does not allow me to work on a website where I can connect my pre existing domains with. 2. I mainly bought the ecommerce for Online Dropshipping, although I seem to be given more of a physical store option. Isnt woocommerce free? So then what is the point of the ecommerce plan by wordpress if I can get hosting and other features for much cheaper?
So this is my main problem:
After I asked live chat and they told me that I am allowed to have multiple websites with multiple custom domains, ‘Unlimited stores’ as advertised in the ecommerce plan, i followed the steps but it just lead to the message [All domains will redirect to ‘ The domain that came for free with my ecommerce plan ‘,]why does this happen though? There is no way I am only allowed to create one website for one domain even with the best option available, the ecommerce plan. I am sure there has got to be a way. As I already own these domains and connected them. Though it does not let me build a website and use my existing pre bought domain.
It only allows me to have one website and I get given the option to just change the primary domain.Please help me manage this issue.

Hey there,
1. Creating a website for my domains. It keeps going back to the free domain provided with my purchase and does not allow me to work on a website where I can connect my pre existing domains with.
It sounds like you are trying to set the primary address for your site. You can set the primary address on a site with any paid plan by visiting Upgrades > Domains and then selecting the Menu (three dots) next to your domain and selecting Make primary address. We also have a great help doc here:
Your primary site address is the domain that people will see in their browser’s address bar when visiting your site. It is the address you use to promote your website. Requirements To use a domain as your site’s primary address, you will need: A domain registered or connected to WordPress.com. Any paid WordPress.com plan. With a paid WordPress.com plan, you can set a custom do2. I mainly bought the ecommerce for Online Dropshipping, although I seem to be given more of a physical store option. Isnt woocommerce free?

WooCommerce itself is free to use. The Commerce plan comes with additional features and add-ons for WooCommerce, which are not free. These are a wide range of features, such as Integrations with top shipping carriers and Referral and loyalty programs. You can find an outline of the benefits of the Commerce plan here:
Sell products and services, or collect payments online with the Commerce plan on WordPress.com. Introduction WooCommerce provides all the essentials for selling online out of the box, including secure payments, configurable shipping options, and actionable analytics. The Commerce plan expands upon this foundation with: A list of handpicked WooCommerce extensions and tools to help you sIf you decide these additional features are not for you, you can certainly downgrade to the Business plan and keep your access to WooCommerce.

It only allows me to have one website and I get given the option to just change the primary domain.You can certainly create a site for each domain. To do so, create a new site without a custom domain, and then transfer your existing domain over to the new site. Keep in mind that each site will require its own site plan.
Hope this helps!
