  Hey,
  Is it possible to add a plug in for a shop on my free word press site? And if so, any recommendations?
  I have searched through the forums and read you can’t and then you can.. I am a newbie and really have no clue if I am honest but I am learning (hopefully)
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Sorry – this is probably really elementary stuff – its just very new to me is all…

  Okay after a read through am I right in thinking if I purchase my domain name I can then use woo commerce?
  I’m sorry – that will be the last question for now. Promise.

  Don’t worry. :)

  Nope, for e-commerce on WordPress.com you need to purchase the Business plan:

  This is the only option, sorry.
