payment gateway
-
Hi, we are exploring our options to integrate a proper payment gateway on the blog, if that is possible. The purpose is that the visitors who don’t use credit / debit cards may use Netbanking, e-interac etc. if they wish to make any contributions to us. Is it possible? If not, what better option do you suggest: upgrading the blog, hosting one on wordpress.org OR a new website please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

eCommerce is not possible on a wordpress.COM hosted blog unless you have a Business upgrade for $299. per year in US funds. See here:
http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ and also read this support doc carefully https://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/Otherwise, provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide 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/
(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.
