  We’re a membership organization seeking to set up a single form where you can enter information and submit payment. Right now our new members pay via PayPal and submit a separate registration form. Guidance needed.

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

  Hi there,
  I suggest you add a paypal button for users to be redirected to your paypal account. You can find more information here:

  We’re currently using the PayPal button. We want to enhance our user experience by providing potential members with an opportunity to both complete an application and submit payment.

  What you are asking for will require a substantial grade which is annually renewable. eCommerce is not possible on a wordpress.COM hosted blog unless you have a Business upgrade for $299. per year in US funds. See here for all the details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

  Otherwise, provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide you have only two options.

  (1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  (2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
