  I want to create an online store. From what I’m reading, I think it’s telling me I can’t get the ecwig plugin because I have a blog, (.com), and not a website (.org). However, I can create a store if I upgrade to wordpress.com business? I’m not sure if this is correct. Can you please tell me how I can create an online store on my blog? Thanks!

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

  Hi there!

  The difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org can be an understandable point of confusion, let me try to clarify. :)

  At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for sites. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize their site’s look and feel. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  This guide gives a further overview of the core differences between these two flavours of WordPress:

  In regards to Ecwid, it’s possible to directly integrate your Ecwid store here at WordPress.com if you have the Business plan:

  Hope that helps to explain things! Please do let me know if you have any extra questions.
