  Hi Albert,

  There isn’t a true e-commerce solution here at WordPress.com, but you can always get a PayPal button. If you get a PayPal button, you’ll be able to sell individual items on your site and send your customers to a PayPal payment screen. If you are looking to use something like WooCommerce, you will need to self- host with a WordPress.org install. Third- party plugins can be installed if you self-host, but you are much more responsible for the technical upkeep of the site. You can read about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
