  I have a free version of WordPress right now and it looks like I can not add any plugins. Is that correct?

  Hi there!

  Yes, that is correct.
  WordPress.com is a shared environment and we do not allow installing third-party themes or plugins for security reasons. Business sites undergo a series of structural changes to allow that and that is why you’d need Business plan to install a plugin:

  Does wordpress.org offer the abilities to add plugins?

  This is just a hobby so I don’t want to invest much money.

  Thanks

  shipping.first_nameresult = gateway.transaction.sale(
  :amount => “10.00”,
  :payment_method_nonce => params[:payment_method_nonce],
  :device_data => params[:device_data],
  :order_id => “Mapped to PayPal Invoice Number”,
  :options => {
  :submit_for_settlement => true,
  :paypal => {
  :custom_field => “PayPal custom field”,
  :description => “Description for PayPal email receipt”,
  },
  }
  )
  if result.success?
  “Success ID: #{result.transaction.id}”
  else
  result.message
  end

  Yes, you can add plugins on a WordPress.org site.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
