  WooCommerce should be added to the plugins! It’s needed for webshops. Not everyons can build a website with HTML (Ican’t) so that’s why wordpress is a very good option to build a website. But if you want to have webshop WooCommerce is very much needed and I think I’m not the only one who want’s to use this plugin. Now you can only use it with .org

  WooCommerce

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Agreed! As a nonprofit, we need our visitors to be able to donate without leaving our site, and woo commerce is used by a lot of wordpress.org sites. Will you please add it?

  Presently, you cannot run woocommerce on any site that’s hosted by wordpress.COM. You can only run it on a wordpress.ORG install on paid hosting. Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress https://move.wordpress.com/

  There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM and you cannot add a shopping cart to sites hosted by wordpress.COM.

  E-commerce options have been removed here at WordPress.COM. Secure payment systems are not available here at wordpress.COM. You need a wordpress.ORG install. Please read this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/e-commerce-22?replies=17#post-2575955

  Thanks for your suggestion, Staff review all suggestions posted into in this Ideas Forum, and if and when they implement them, they contact those who made the requests.

  donate without leaving our site,

  Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site you have two options.

  (1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
  Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.

  (2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
