  I am planning to start a e-commerce on my wordpress site and have obtained paypal button code to be pasted into the HTML field, but it turns out there are only words with frames around it, not an actually paypal logo with “buy now” with it for redirection..

  Please help!!

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

  Bad news: you can’t do ecommerce on a WordPress.com site. You can, easily, on a WordPress.org site. If ecommerce is central to your plans, you’ll have to buy hosting elsewhere, export your blog, and start there. The ONLY paypal button that works here is the Donation button, and even then, not the encrypted version.

  What’s the ‘database’ needed for the self-hosted version?
