Linking to my paypal account to accept payments for work.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I have a free hosted site on wordpress.com (rightbeatradio.com) and I am aware that being a merchant on a free hosted site is not allowed.

    However, I am a musician and I would like to start adding music that will be available for purchase. No purchasing will be done directly from my website. My site is simply the place where people will be able to listen to the music, click a link if they’d like to purchase it and they will be taken off the site and either to another website of mine or to paypal to purchase the music.

    I wanted to know before I started this if I am allowed to do this? I want to make a page called “Purchase Beats” where there will be a list of music, as well as links to listen or to purchase. Once purchase is clicked, they will be rerouted to another site.

    Since I do not actually have a “cart” or purchasing system on my website, can I do it this way without breaking any of your rules?

    Please let me know as soon as possible.

    Thanks for your time!

    I actually had a similar question that I sent to support a while back related to linking to products that I was selling. That was fine with them as long as the merchanting was not being done on my website.

    So I am a bit confused wether or not this would be considered “e-commerce” which I know is not allowed.

    I think what I’ll do is just present my music for potential buyers, offer them a contact form and I will handle all transactions via email, instead of a “buy” link for the music.

    However, I will wait on a response.

    P.S. I don’t see any issue with what you propose but Volunteers don’t make such decisions.

  • What you have described is perfectly fine, go for it!
