  I have a few WordPress.com blogs and was asked for advise about setting up a website for a swimming pool cleaning business. This is a 1-man business and he would like a simple site to provide information to current and prospective customers, as well as the ability to allow them to send their monthly payment via Paypal.

  Is it possible for him to have a WordPress.com blog (with the look of a regular website) with a payment button for customers?

  Sorry but wordpress.com blogs cannot be equiped for ecommerce tranactions. We cannot use encrypted paypal buttons. We can only use the unencrypted papypal donation buttons.

  Thanks for posting the link. I’m multitasking. Monthy payments on the donation system — I wouldn’t go for that. I would get a wordpress.ORG install but that’s just me.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
