  There is currently no e-commerce solution available on WordPressdotcom. The only way you would be able to receive secure payment is by adding a PayPal button or by linking to an off-site shop like on ArtFire or Etsy, etc.

  Another option if you wish to have an online shop is to host your own install of the standalone WP software. More about the differences between WordPressdotcom (where we are) and standalone WP are explained here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Let us know if you have any other question about that.
