  We’re looking to create a site where we can sell products, but also has a user login where they can create profiles with basic links to their socials, phone numbers, emails, etc. and share these profiles with people via their permalink. What’s the best way to do this?

  Hi there,

  You’ll need several plugins to do this. For selling products specifically you’ll need an ecommerce plugin, like WooCommerce. I don’t personally know of anything that can be used for public user profiles like you describe, though.

  Please ask the WordPress.org community for advice on this instead:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  The forums you’re posting in now is for free sites hosted on WordPress.com, and free users on WordPress.com cannot use plugins. So we simply don’t have the expertise required to help you here.

  The WordPress.org forums are staffed by the people who make the open source WordPress software and plugins for that software.

  Note that using plugins on WordPress.com requires our Business Plan.
