  Hi,
  I’m having difficulty choosing which plan to go for.
  I have a start-up evening wear brand that I launched in January. I already have a domain through GoDaddy.
  I also use shopify with one of my domains but would like to completely change my website over to wordpress.
  Which plan do you think would be best to go for?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please see:
  Business plan https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/
  eCommerce https://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  To use a domain URL you purchased elsewhere on any wordpress.COM site you will need to upgrade first and then map to an existing domain. To map an existing domain see http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
  Alternatively, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping and that underlying .wordpress.com URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  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/

  Howdy,

  Which plan do you think would be best to go for?

  If you’re looking to completely replace your Shopify account and need more then our Simple Payment Button I would recommend the WordPress.com Business Plan as it allows you to install the popular WooCommerce software to sell items directly on your site.

  If you’re looking for a simple payment option then the WordPress.com Premium plan allows the use of that feature. You can compare all of our plans at:

  Let us know if you have any specific questions.
