Online payment

I would like to make it possible for people visiting my website to pay a registration fee for an event directly through the website, and was wondering how to add this feature.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

For eCommerce capability you need the Business Plan.
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
The Business upgrade includes:
• Google analytics
• Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
• SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
• The ability to install most plugins including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes.You could be confusing wordpress.COM hosted sites and wordpress.ORG self hosted sites. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you require plugins and/or Custom Themes or Third Party Themes and do not wish to purchase a WordPress.COM Business Plan see: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com

With wordpress.org self hosted sites, would I have to write my own code or have a more extensive knowledge of the kinds of things that go into creating a website?

Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site, or you are asking for donations you have two options.
(1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/(2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

So my goal for this website is to have a feature that enables people to register for an event and pay the registration fee to the organization hosting the event on the site. We’re not really “selling” anything, but rather collecting payment. I will definitely look into the two options you listed, thanks so much for your help!

Hi there,
Have you looked at Eventbrite? We offer integration with that service and it will allow you to display your events and sell tickets/take registrations from your site:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/eventbrite/
Note there might be additional fees from Eventbrite to do this. You can contact their support to find out exactly what services they offer.
The other option is an ecommerce plugin, for which you’ll either need the WordPress.com Business Plan, or a self-hosted WordPress site.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
