How to sell premium content?
-
Hi.
I have a free blog with domain wordpress.com.
I want to sell images as Premium content. I have PayPal account activated.
I want to sell image galleries for single payments. I do not try to sell membership by time.
What plugin do I need to install? How do I download and install?
Thank you. -
There is no FTP access to wordpress.com blogs and no blogger installed plugin capability. Those exist only on wordpress.ORG software installs and no upgrade alters that reality. WordPress.COM hosted sites have some built in plugins.

There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM and you cannot add a shopping cart to sites hosted by wordpress.COM regardless of upgrades. E-commerce options have been removed from WordPress.COM. Please read https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/e-commerce-22?replies=17#post-2575955
Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site, or you are asking for donations see: Selling Physical and Digital Products, and Requesting Donations or Tips

Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all. -

This is a duplicate thread. It was already answered on spanish forums as well:

If I install a PayPal payment button, I can charge. But how will the reader have access to Premium content?

Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
