Need a Buy Button

  • Unknown's avatar

    Is there a theme that offers a sell button? I want to sell my books on my 3epress.org blog site but can’t figure out how to do that. Thank you.

    Hi there,

    There is not any theme which offers that. In general, the only way in which we allow items to be sold off of sites which are hosted at WordPress.com is if they are items which you produced. If they are CDs, you need to be the artist singing in them, etc. If you wrote the books which you would like to sell, that is fine!

    In most such cases, people tend to use “Pay Now” buttons from whatever merchant outlet they are using to process sales. Companies such as PayPal or Google Checkout will usually provide you the code to link directly to their systems.

    Hello and thank you for responding. Two of my sites are wordpress.org (if that makes any difference), but I am the author of the books I sell.

    So then, I go to Paypal and pick up a Pay Now button from them and insert it on the site?

    That is correct. You should be able to use your PayPal account to accept payment and once you have set that up, they will provide “Pay Now” buttons and the code for them.

    If you are looking to sell items on WordPress.org sites then you can sell anything you’d like, however I cannot assist with that as they are outside of our scope of support. We can only help with questions directly relating to WordPress.com.

    Can I cancel the site and payment? I didn’t realize the cons of .org.

    Hi there,

    You can only get refunds on domains for the first 48 hours after their purchase. It appears you have one domain that falls within that time period, and I can provide a refund for that one, however all of your others would not be eligible for refund.

    Thank you for your help. I got it figured out. I appreciate your quick and great advice.
