  Can I build a dummy Ecommerce website first and then move to actual domain and hosting later?

  Hi there,

  Yes, you can do this but only on a local server.
  Try to search for the local WordPress servers available to choose from and then work from there.

  But I get this message when I try to install woo commerce

  You’ve entered a WordPress.com site. To use WooCommerce on WordPress.com, your site needs to be on a Business or eCommerce plan. Upgrade your plan

  If you already have a Business or eCommerce plan, you can install WooCommerce straightaway. Install WooCommerce on WordPress.com

  Hi there,

  To be able to install WooCommerce on WordPress.com, you need to upgrade to our Business plan. You cannot install plugins on the Free WordPress.com plan.

  If you want to experiment with WooCommerce, you can install WordPress locally on your computer. Here’s a guide on how to do that:
