Shopping Cart
-
I use wordpress.com for my business life. I have a new business that I want to start, and it requires a shopping cart. Not allowing a shopping cart on wordpress.com is un-american ! :-) – joke.
But seriously, whats the big deal about allowing us to express ourselves with wordpress.com in business?
-
No I’m afraid e-commerce isn’t possible here at WordPress.com, and there are no plans to develop anything for that at this time.
If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, there are no restrictions on e-commerce if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a free hosted WordPress.com blog.
See here to learn the differences:
-
In a nutshell no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM
The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.

Hi timethief! I love your blog.
And I love wordpress.com , I think it’s the next Google …
I still think wordpress.com should reconsider, capitalism is the basis to our culture. If some creative blogger wanted to sell their art work, or t-shirts or something. Why not let them.
It limits the useablity of wordpress to limit folks creative output by not allowing them to sell what they create.
