You can install WordPress.org in your host provider server, that way you can sell products for free online

You must be using wordpress.com? You'd be able to do this for free using the self hosted wordpress.org version.

Hi! If you use https://wordpress.org/ WordPress on your server you can install Woocommerce plugin for free, download the plugin here https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/ you just need to install and active it. Regards.

When you say i can install it for free on my server, do you mean like xampp? In that case can i sell physical products online with woocommerce through wordpress online for free?

Not Xampp, xampp is local only. You'd have to buy a host, cost like $10 a month or less.

Hi, If you want to install WP locally, yes, you have to use XAMPP https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-install-wordpress-on-your-computer https://teamtreehouse.com/library/local-wordpress-development To move from .com to .org https://teamtreehouse.com/library/moving-from-wordpresscom-to-selfhosted-wordpressorg

The same way you install in local, you can install in your own hosting. There is a course for that too, but I can't remember it right now. I hope this links help you.

Yes, basically, you can sell your own products (physical or digital) in your woocommerce store for free. You have to pay for a hosting and domain :D
