  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 want to create a contact form to collect email addresses, you can:

  Shopping carts are only available to Business users. However, you can use PayPal buy now buttons to sell products that you produce.

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
