WordPress.com released new e-Commerce tools yesterday, if you are planning to create an online storefront for your business, they have a real good news for  you.

Are you looking to build an online storefront for your business? A new ecommerce feature from WordPress.com Business can make this happen — quickly and easily.

This service is exclusively for WordPress.com Business Users not for any other WordPress.org users. WordPress has given you options to choose from Ecwid, Shopify, and ShopLocket — you can showcase, promote, and sell products to your customers directly from your site.

Users with the WordPress.com Business upgrade already enjoy great features like live-chat support, unlimited storage, and free access to all our premium themes.

Now, you can turn your site into a sleek online storefront, and let visitors shop from any post or page. The partners we’ve teamed up with — Ecwid, Shopify, and ShopLocket — all provide a smooth and secure ecommerce experience for you and your customers.

Connecting to your store is quick and easy — you initiate the process go to your dashboard and then to  eCommerce Plugins, where you can select the desired service:

After connecting the desired service you’d like to use, you can go to the service’s Settings page to complete any necessary account details — from your Dashboard, go to Settings → Service Name (i.e. Ecwid Store, Shopify, or ShopLocket).

Once your WordPress.com Business site is connected to your online store, the possibilities are endless. Each service is slightly different,  but you can feature your products by simply embedding a link to your product into the editor, pasting in a shortcode from the services’ dashboard/admin, or, in some cases, just copying over the embed code into the editor. Regardless of the method you choose, we’ll automatically convert each link into a sleek, professional product image.

You can modify the look and feel of the products on your page by customizing the shortcode, from image size and background color to “Buy” button text.
