  Hi, I want to build the website, but is it possible to build it without starting paying for it ? Because I want to take my time, I want it to be ready for September, not before. So I want to start paying in September. I hope you understand! Thank you so much

  Hi there,

  The website naneejewellery.wordpress.com you started is free and you don’t need to pay for that. You can take your time to get accustomed with this platform. Here are some links which will help you to start your free website.

  If you’re planning on creating an e-commerce site with a shopping cart, you’d need to use a plugin like WooCommerce. For that, you’d need plan Business or eCommerce, you won’t be able to do it on a free site:

  If you’re only planning on selling a few items/services, you can start off with Payments block, available on any of our paid plans:

  I want to create an ecommerce, and I’ll, for sure, choose the business plan. But what I mean is that, can I create the shop, without starting paying, just to create the designs… and start paying the 1st September?

  That won’t be possible, I’m afraid. You can work on your site using the free plan, but you won’t be able to set up the store without the use of plugins, and for those, you will need to upgrade.

  Oh, what a shame. No problem, but can i still make my shop without the plug-in, and add later the plug-in? Does this will modify what I already did?

  Hi @naneesshop, do you mean you’d like to add everything except the things that you’d add with a shop plugin? You’d be welcome to that: create a front page, any content you want to add, create pages for each of your products with the text and imagery you want to use.

  Then all of that will be ready so you can copy it over to eCommerce products when you’re ready. If that isn’t what you have in mind, can you clarify?

  So it’s possible to create pages for my website, then copy them to the ecommerce version ?

  Will the pages stay the same ?

  Thank you

  Hi there,

  Yes, it is definitely possible to set up some pages for your site. For your store/product pages, you won’t be able to add any store-related content until you get the Business Plan anyway, so there won’t be any disruption in the content that you are able to add.

  We have a nice article on how to add WooCommerce to an already created site. Check it out and let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
