Check out the ZenCart open source, app which you could install in a dedicated folder on your WordPress site, for example, www.yourdomain.com/store. ZenCart is available through most Hosting Providers, or you can download it for free from www.zen-cart.com. Once installed, you can have hundreds of products all with their own images and you setup the payment once only in the backend. Customers can then add items to their virtual basket. Great support too and totally free!
This might be of help to you.

Good question Anne.
I will be developing also a niche with this concept. Painstakingly taking all the trainings, lessons, advice in the WA community and selecting the right theme would be the right approach.
Way to go!
If you go to your WordPress dashboard, click on plug ins, click on add new, the you can try a search on E - commerce. This should bring the available themes up that could be used for storefronts.
looks like there are a lot of assistance in this area of by typing "online storefront" up there in the question area in the blank space at top center. Interesting!
Look up the WooCommerce plug-in. That's how a lot of folks I know set up an online store on WordPress. Good Luck!
LOVE WooCommerce! I've used them in the past, but they're top on my list.
I'm glad I looked at the responses before I spoke!
You store front should be a combination of several things including blogs to talk about your products you are promoting or relevant topics that are related. Take a look around my site and see if this makes more sense to you. Kim :))

Thank you for the sound advice, and that is an excellent website! Perhaps someday I will be somewhat close to that level of expertise in my field too. :)

Just follow the training and take your time, great success does not happen over night. That is just a fact. Even the greats such as Apple and Microsoft started in a neighborhood garage...think about what you can do with what they created to move it forward. Good luck Anne! :))
I know that there are a couple of people in the community that have a store front ... hopefully they will be able to help you. M

You can also do this with a Amazon store. It won't actually be on your site as such but you can link to it.

Hi Anne,
I think you can go to the upper task bar and then click on your profile picture and then select Account Settings. Go down to the middle section under Subscription Settings and then click on Update Credit Card. This will allow you to manage your credit card/bank card information. Have a great weekend!!

Lol I am premium already xD
I was trying to change my paypal account to a different account to pay me monthly fees. Thank you for trying to help.
Anne :)
Go to WA Affiliate Program and scroll to the bottom and you can change your Paypal address there.
I tried that, it didn't have the option for that. The only option available was to convert to yearly?
Are you sure you are clicking the '$ WA Affiliate Program' in the men on the left-hand side here and not from your profile? If you go into your profile, then you only get the option to upgrade to yearly or delete your account and also to change your credit card info.
You have to change it at paypal. I just had to do the same thing.
You can't change it at WA.
Thank you, I will try that. Wheres the option for that at paypal? Or do you have to call in to change it?
