  Hi there, my store is interested in purchasing the business plan to create a website with WordPress for our CBD business. This would just be a catalog store, we have a separate payment processor that we would be using. I read that WordPress.com does not allow hosting for CBD sites but I wanted to see if this is just for e-commerce sites or catalogs as well. Thanks!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  At this time, CBD cannot be sold on a site hosted with WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/store-guidelines/

  However, you can use the self-hosted version of WordPress from https://wordpress.org/ and as long as your hosting provider allows it, you can use WooCommerce to sell CBD: https://woocommerce.com/sell-cbd-online/

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
