Help! I didnt know [wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com) is so SHIT. They are forcing me to upgrade to creator plan to use event INSTALL the plugin for woocommerce!! WTH
What should I do lads? Should I bite the bullet and just upgrade to the creator plan? Or should I avoid the sunk cost fallacy and just transfer everything out of [wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com)? If yes to the latter, what do yall recommend? I intend to use woocommerce (which is suppose to be GODDAMN FREE)

[WordPress.com](https://WordPress.com) and [WordPress.org](https://WordPress.org) are not the same, as you’ve now realised (see pinned post in this sub).
There’s a link on [wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com)’s site about refunds > [https://wordpress.com/support/refunds/](https://wordpress.com/support/refunds/)
It states this, for after you’ve selected the item within your account: ‘Click on the “Cancel” link at the bottom of the page. If the link says “Remove” rather than “Cancel”, your purchase is ineligible for a refund.’.
So, as long as the purchase allows you to click ‘cancel’, you’ll be able to get a refund.
DO NOT cancel your domain, just cancel the plan you’ve purchased. If you cancel the domain it’s likely the case that you won’t be able to register the domain again until it becomes available for purchase again.
DO NOT use [wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com) and don’t use any EIG-owned company: [https://diggitymarketing.com/web-hosting/eig/](https://diggitymarketing.com/web-hosting/eig/) (they’re generally not great). Use any other company, e.g. Sitegound (as well as many other decent hosts).
No need to panic; you have 14 days to request a refund.
It’s infuriating that the deceptively named for-profit company runs a deliberately crippled version of the free, open-source WordPress software. It’s made the founder an extremely wealthy man.
I’m going to say that *if* you’re going to use their service then you should upgrade to the complete version.
For $30/month and up you get something more like regular managed hosting from (cough honest cough) hosts like Kinsta, Pantheon, and other high-end hosts.
Bottom line: either get out while you can, or break down and pay. The cheap sandboxed version isn’t even cheap.
