eCommerce support

    Do I need WordPress business account in order to enable an eCommerce webstore on my blogsite? I have three products I’d like to sell and one of them requires a pull-down menu to select product type so I cannot use PayPal unfortunately. I am currently looking at ecwid as it is a free service as I only have three simple products to sell. Please advise soonest. Thank you!

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

    Hello there! The only eCommerce pay option is PayPal, even with the Business upgrade.

    Additionally, on sites hosted by WordPress.com, you are not allowed to sell products or services created/provided by anyone other than you.

    If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality beyond this, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

    Please see this link to learn about the differences:

    Let me know if you have any questions at all! Thanks much.

    Hi again! I misspoke! I did not realize we do now have eCommerce service on WordPress.com sites that have upgraded to Business:

    Sell Online on WordPress.com

    My apologies! And my thanks to my coworker who let me know :)
