  Hi there, WordPressdotcom has a feature called “Store” that does require you be in the US or Canada to use, but AFAIK there is no limitation in the eCommerce plan.

  You can learn more about these in our support guide at https://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  Let us know if you have any other questions on this topic.

  Hi there,

  As @justjennifer said, it’s only the Store interface in the WordPress.com dashboard that’s restricted by location. That’s because that interface includes certain services that are only supported in those countries.

  But you can set up an online store using WooCommerce, or any other ecommerce plugin, on our Business Plan no matter where you are based. The eCommerce plan comes with WooCommerce pre-installed, and we don’t recommend using other ecommerce plugins on that plan as that plan was specifically optimised for WooCommerce.

  Thank you very much for your reply! I am complete “stupid” with all those websites features … I will certainly look for someone at Fiverr in order to pay for creating website I need, I just need the info – if I am based in Europe, I can purchase eCommerce plan and choose someone at Fiverr that design website on WooCommerce?
  Oh, I would like to have my own website, but it seems to me such an enormous byte … Like a becoming a chemist … Thank you in advance for any help!

  You can, yes. Though the eCommerce plan also comes with live chat support where we’re happy to help you set things up and teach you what you need to know.

  If you do want to hire someone to do things for you, though, we recommend Upwork for most things:

  Their freelancers are familiar with WordPress.com, and especially the differences between WordPress.com and the open source version of WordPress. But if you prefer Fiverr that’s entirely your call.
