  Hi,

  I read the WordPress.com Terms of Service and the Guidelines but i haven’t found an answer to my question.
  Can i use WordPress.com to create a website showcasing Android apps developped by our team and published on the Play Store? And for each app page, can i add a link to download the app on the store?
  Is such use of WordPress.com allowed?

  Many thanks for your help :)

  Hello @aitheriosi

  As I looked into the Terms and Conditions, too, I don’t think this would represent a problem, as long as you don’t break any of the conditions mentioned there.

  However, this post already has a modlook tag added to it so that means a Happiness Engineer will get back to you with an official answer.

  Also, here is more information on monetization: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

  Based on the content below, I would say you are allowed to advertise your app:

  Selling Physical and Digital Products, and Requesting Donations or Tips

  You can sell your handmade products, art, books, or digital products such as ebooks or courses on your site using your PayPal account. You can also solicit donations or tips from your readers using the PayPal button or link.

  For more information on setting up a PayPal button or link in your content, please refer to our step by step guide.

  Practically even if you don’t sell them but you advertise them for installation/selling, that would be close to the same thing.

  At least that’s how I see it.
