  Hi –

  No, you don’t need to know code to use WooCommerce or WordPress. You’ll want to figure out which version of WordPress will work best for you though. There are 2 different versions.

  What we do here at WordPress.com is quite different from using a stand alone WordPress installation which is known as WordPress.org.

  Take a look at this page for more details on those differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You may also want to consider reading over the getting started materials for each version as that may help with your decision.

  WordPress.com: https://learn.wordpress.com/
  WordPress.org: https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress

  Lastly, this page highlights the different ecommerce options on WordPress.com. https://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/
