  Hi, I would like to purchase the “retailer” theme (on envato marketI, but i don’t see how I can install it, as I don’t have the “add new” button under the theme tab.
  Also, I currently have the basic WP version. In order to use retailer, would I need to upgrade? To which version? Thanks in advance for a quick response!

  Howdy Monic!

  Themes cannot be uploaded to WordPress.com, only self-hosted sites using WordPress.org. The difference between the two is described here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I checked out the Retailer theme here:

  Would something like Sela work as a replacement?

  Also, just something to keep in mind if you’re looking for e-commerce, we offer two options at WordPress.com, but they require the Business bundle:

  Sell Online on WordPress.com

  Alternatively, you can install a PayPal button on your site without any upgrade:
