  Hi – I am considering purchasing a WP premium plan.

  My plan is to create a simple site – a sales page for an eBook, an opt in form and a thank you page after purchase.

  Does WP premium have these features?

  Thanks,
  Alex

  Hi @alexukchambers

  From your question, I realize that your primary need is to build a working eCommerce website, correct?

  In that case, you might want to purchase the business plan, instead of the premium plan, which includes integration of eCommerce partners like Shopify, with which you can easily fulfil your requirement of a sales page, payments, etc.

  It also comes with built-in live chat support, so that you can have ready help at your fingertips. The business plan costs $299 per year.

  Hi – thanks for your answer. Sorry for so many questions!

  I couldnt see any squeeze page type forms on WP Business…. is it just a normal blog type layout?

  Can I integrate Mailchimp to this?

  And Shopify – is this a separate paid plugin, or does it come free with WP Business?

  Thanks :)

  Hello again,

  Strictly speaking, ‘squeeze page type forms’ are not available in WordPress… However, using available tools in the WordPress editor (and by employing an eCommerce optimized theme, which comes free with WP Business), you can create squeeze page forms.

  As for mailchimp, WordPress does not permit a seamless integration. However, there are workarounds to add Mailchimp to your WordPress.com blog. These links should explain:

  WordPress.com business plan offers Shopify by default and you will not have to purchase it separately.
