  hi,

  trying to work out whether i can integrate a shopping cart with a blog hosted on wordpress.com, does this have to be self hosted to add a shopping cart?

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

  You have to be self-hosted to have a shopping cart. We are so NOT optimized for ecommerce here.

  Hello there,
  I see that your blog features products made by yourself from recycled materials. Will the PayPal donation button and/or contact form work for you?

  Also note that if you have an Etsy account the widget code they provide does not work on our blogs but it can be tranlated into a Etsy widget gigya shotcode that you can use on your blog.

  You can use integrate the paypal “buy now” or “donate” button, but the shopping cart button does not work with wordpress.com.

  thanks everyone, I’m sure that question must get asked a lot around here, so pay pals “buy now” buttons can be used but no shopping cart huh? that’s a start at least..
