  Why is ecommerce / online store no longer supported in WordPress.com? I work for a furniture retail group and we want a website with an online store. The neglect of not having the possibility of having such a plugin makes WordPress an absolute non-entity for us. We will simply need to find a different solution. Very, very disappointed!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is no e-commerce capability here. There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM and you cannot add a shopping cart to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress

  E-commerce plugin options have been removed here at WordPress.COM. Secure payment systems are not available here at wordpress.COM. You need a wordpress.ORG install. Please read this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/e-commerce-22?replies=17#post-2575955

  What a miserable predicament! I don’t want to use WordPress.org. Will have to find something else. Ugh.

  Yup. Seriously sucks sometimes, especially since I’ve built most of the site already. Thanks very much for your responses though. Much appreciated!
