  Hi Marlon,

  Here at WordPress.com, all of the plugins available to us are already installed. You can read about them here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There really isn’t any e-commerce solution here at WordPress.com

  You can, however, self- host with a WordPress.org install. You can read about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  Hope this helps!

  Hi Marlon,

  Regardless of which plan you are on, uploading custom plugins is not supported on WordPress.com.

  As rossviviano mentioned, you would need a self-hosted WordPress.org site in order to use the WooCommerce plugin.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org are explained here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Whilst you aren’t able to use the WooCommerce plugin on WordPress.com, you can sell individual items on your site using your PayPal account and a button directing your readers to the PayPal payment screen. There is more information about the process here:

  Let me know if you have any questions.
