    Need help from a newbie perspective… Thanks

    I am looking forward to activating my site and making it go live in a few weeks. I have a free design template that I like. I am working with someone to design a custom logo for my business.
    When it is ready, what do I need to do to be able to upload that logo?
    Also what can I do to give that person helping me set up my homepage her own access? In creating the main page I want it section for about us, contact us, and order us, etc.

    I will be needing an e-commerce site which I understand there will be an additional fee for when I am ready to go live.

    What payment options can I offer? Is there anything in addition to PayPal like maybe Apple Pay or Venmo?

    I will be working with suppliers to be an authorized reseller of their items.
    Can I put a link indicating I’m an authorized reseller on my WordPress site?

    One more question, when customers order from my site can they create their own customer log into their account so they can keep track of their order history rather than re-enter their own information every time they want to order from me?
    Also how can I get notified of an order from my end and or keep track of orders on my end?

    Thank you so much for your time and kindness. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Hi Dru,

    what do I need to do to be able to upload that logo?

    You can upload your logo by going to WordPress.com > My Sites > Design > Customize > Site Identity > Logo

    Also what can I do to give that person helping me set up my homepage her own access?

    You can add the to the site by following these instructions:

    https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site

    In creating the main page I want it section for about us, contact us, and order us, etc.

    This is how to create additional pages:

    https://wordpress.com/support/pages/#create-a-new-page

    and here’s how to add them to the main menu:

    https://wordpress.com/support/menus/#add-menu-items

    I will be needing an e-commerce site which I understand there will be an additional fee for when I am ready to go live.

    There are many options on WordPress.com to create an ecommnerce site. You can see them all here:

    Sell Online on WordPress.com

    What payment options can I offer? Is there anything in addition to PayPal like maybe Apple Pay or Venmo?

    That depends on the payment gateway that you’ll choose. This means that you’ll need to use an e-commerce plugin like WooCommerce and then install the payment gateway that you want. You can read more about the payment gateways supported on WooCommerce here:

    https://woocommerce.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/payment-gateways/

    I will be working with suppliers to be an authorized reseller of their items.
    Can I put a link indicating I’m an authorized reseller on my WordPress site?

    That’s not something we have a say in. You have to ask those suppliers :)

    when customers order from my site can they create their own customer log into their account so they can keep track of their order history rather than re-enter their own information every time they want to order from me?

    Yes, they can create their own account:

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/configuring-woocommerce-settings/#section-16

    Also how can I get notified of an order from my end and or keep track of orders on my end?

    You’ll get an email, as well as a notification in your WordPress dashboard.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
