On free hosted WordPress.com blog we can use a contact form and/or a PayPal donation button for the sale of only products or services created or provided by ourselves.

There is no upgrade you can purchase form WordPress.com that changes what I posted above. However, there are no eCommerce restrictions if you hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

You can do that on WordPress.ORG, not here at WordPress.COM (here, at best, you can place an unencrypted PayPal donation button). See here for more info on the differences between WP.com and WP.org:

I'd like to sell our local art (Region VIII, Philippine art) online. WordPress was recommended to me, but I have a question. If I get a domain name through wordpress, can I place a Paypal button & shopping cart on my site?

Thanks.

I'm so glad to hear you contacted Staff because that's what was stated in the information at the links I provided.

If you are in any doubt, please contact support for clarification.

Best wishes for a speedy reply. :)

Thanks for your reply.

@justjennifer - I have done as you suggested - I guess I'll just wait to hear from them before investing any more time in this project. Thanks.

WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
WordPress.com is a hosted blog service. You do not have to download software, pay for hosting or manage a web server. WordPress.com does not permit uploading themes or plugins. WordPress.org is free software. You can install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

This is the link to the support documentation entry re: types of blogs allowed and NOT allowed at wordpress.com. Please take note of this particular section posted below:

Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category.http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

It's also important to know that wordpress.com blogs cannot be equiped for ecommerce. Those with free blogs being free hosted by wordpress.com are restricted when it comes to advertising. . Please see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/ There are also code restrictions which can be viewed here. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ In addition the ToS disallows wordpress.com blogs being used to drive traffic to third party sites.
http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

Provided we are selling ONLY what we ourselves create and not retailing or retailing goods or services created by others then we can use contact forms and/or PayPal donation buttons. Please see:

This page appears on the menu at the top of my blog.

Visitors to my "Shop" page can follow a link that will open a new window to my Shopify store.

After reviewing TOS, this doesn't seem to violate any policies, but as a new user I just want to be certain.

Thank you for your time.
