Trying to open a online store
-
I am currently trying to open an online store like it says that I can for free. The problem I am having is I don’t know if wordpress.com and word press.org go together or are they two different companies. Either way, I have registered with both and both want me to pay for something. I already have a domain name that I have already purchased through google because both sites say I need one. As well that domain produced a website but of course, there is nothing on it. I have downloaded wordpress.org. Yet over there I don’t have a dashboard like over here. Is there a way that you can break it down step by step on how to set this up because I am not understanding and not about to pay for anything else till I do get an understanding?

Hi! WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate, but they aren’t two different companies.
WordPress is free software. And WordPress.com is a hosting service that can run that software for you, or you can run your own copy with your own hosting provider. We have more info here:
https://get.wp.comI’d recommend reading that — it’s short and should make a lot of things clearer. You’ll likely have questions still, though, so once you’ve read it, let us know how we can help given that new information.
Also, having a domain already is no problem at all. You could either transfer the domain here or connect it:
