  I’m creating a women’s skin care blog and I would like to sell one product on the blog. Can I use the PayPal Buy Button on the free website option?

  Hi there,

  As long as you are the creator/owner of the product, you are allowed to sell it from your blog. You can create a link to the site where your visitors can buy it, and you can set up your PayPal “Buy Now” button on your blog by following this guide: PayPal.

  While you can sell your own product on your blog, WordPress.com does not allow blogger initiated advertising, retailing, or reselling of a product created by someone else. You can read more about that here.

  If you do want to do this or require e-commerce/shopping cart functionalities beyond what is described above, you may want to consider moving to a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  Hopefully, this helps! Thanks!
