need to set up a store- can it be done on wordpress.com or just .org?
-
I purchased a domain from wordpress.com. My intention with this domain was to create a store. I just purchased a store theme, only to find out that it can only be used with wordpress.org. So I went to wordpress.org and would have to buy another domain to create a store. This has been a headache, and I just need help setting up a store. Is it possible with wordpress.com? is my .com transferrable to .org?

WordPress.com doesn’t have any advanced e-commerce support, so if you’d like to use store software then you do need to setup on WordPress.org instead.
Yes, you can definitely use your custom domain at another host. What you’ll need to do is setup a web hosting account and find out from them what name servers they require to map a domain you already own to their web hosting service. Once you know the name servers to use, you can enter them through the domain manager:

Here is a help page that talks more about switching in case that helps:
