    Hello,
    I had my website created by a web designer company and they are ready to give me the final product. How can I upload or link it to my Word Press site?

    Also, I presently have Go Daddy and am looking to transfer over to Word Press. Can you confirm if I connected my domain (vedic-how.com) correctly? For some reason I couldn’t transfer it over. Any additional steps I need to take or is it easier to link Word Press to my Go Daddy account?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Question – will I be able to add a shopping page myself once I import the file from my developer?

    Hi there!

    Yes. You will need to upgrade to a WordPress.com plan to access certain features — like the ability to add e-commerce features, but you can definitely add them to your site.

    May I know what kind of shopping features you’d like to add? Do you want a fully-featured e-commerce site where customers can add different items to their cart and go through a checkout page? Or do you want to only collect items for a few products/services you’d be selling through your site?

    We can share specific suggestions once you let us know more about your site goals.

    Thanks!
