    Hi i want to create a local commerce website where shops can create their storefronts on the website. They can create their own store, create a profile type storefront, list items, manage quantities that users can see. Which plug in should I use?

    Great choice to use WordPress.com for your local commerce website! For your needs, I recommend using the WooCommerce plugin along with the WordPress.com Business plan.

    Here are the steps to get started:

    1. Start your new site here. When prompted you will want to upgrade to the Business plan so that your site has the ability to add ecommerce functionality. https://wordpress.com/start/
    2. Install WooCommerce: Go to My Site → Plugins, search for “WooCommerce,” and click “Install.”
    3. Follow the WooCommerce setup wizard to create your store.
    4. To add multivendor functionality you will want to add the following plugin: https://woocommerce.com/posts/create-multivendor-marketplace-wordpress/

    If you are new to WooCommerce you may find this recent webinar on setting up your first WooCommerce store helpful since it covers all the basics:

    Good luck with your project, and please let me know if you have any questions!
