  I am trying to create a website to sell ebooks but cannot find how to do that. Are WordPress websites only for promoting blogs.
  How can I get right back to the beginning and ‘Start with an Online Store’? (I selected ‘Start with a website’

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

  Hi, @elibrary672,

  WordPress.com allows for the use of the simple (no customizations) Buy Now or Donate button from PayPal.

  You can sell individual items on your site using your PayPal account and a button directing your readers to the PayPal payment screen.

  This is a link to the support document on how to set those up: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  If you are interested in an integrated shopping cart on your site with additional payment options, you may always upgrade to the WordPress. com . This is where the online store website would led you in the beginning. Business Plan which allows you to install Plugins like WooCommerce, and provides support to you via live chat (as available) and email.

  You also may be interested in considering the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress. org.
  For information on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org :

  Let me know if you need additional information.
