Urgent mapping of domain.
-
I already have a domain at namecheap but upon mapping it to wordpress, I cant hardly the right instructions of doing so. It was I know clearly stated here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/ on the link on how to transfer the domain to wordpress. but it will always lead me to billing page that i have to buy the domain. I again, i want to emphasize that I already have the domain with me, all I have to do is to map it with wordpress, not buy new one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To be clear WordPress.com will not domain map to your domain name from a free hosted WordPress.com blog for you free of charge. You are being led to a billing page to pay for the 1 year subscription for domain mapping for $13.00 per year for one blog.
If you would like to use your domain name purchased elsewhere and map from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it, then you will first need to set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Under “Domains” in the store – try clicking on the “Mapping” option not the “Add a Domain” and see if that helps, the mapping is all you need, maybe the store is getting confused
-
Where to locate the “Mapping” option on Domains page under store? I cant find it. Thanks for that input.
-
Dashboard >> Store >> in the main section of the store that lists all the upgrades – on the left side of the page – you should see a box with “Add a Domain” for a title

Hi!
Store:
– store
– premium themes
– domains
– my upgrades
– billing historyNow, upon clicking domains, there is an add domain and no mapping option. If i click add to domain, it will hop me to billing page.

Try clicking on the plain “Store” option – that is in the left sidebar – don’t go down the extra level where you are seeing the fly out part of your options – don’t click on any of the fly out stuff – just plain “Store”

Please watch the video: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

Of course there isn’t and I clearly stated that above in my comment:
