  Hi there!

  Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

  For instance, if you’re interested in a Buy Now button, you can use PayPal buttons:

  Or, if you’d like a website with a full shopping cart, you might look into our Business upgrade:

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  Hi there!

  It looks like you successfully canceled your free trial. I’m confirming that you won’t be charged for it!

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
