SELLING FROM GOOGLE SITES
Google Sites cannot sell here is what to do about it
Google Sites is free, quick and genuinely useful for an information page. It has no store, no checkout and no way to take a payment, and no plan you can upgrade to that adds one.
WHAT TO KNOW
The parts that decide it and the ones that quietly cost you
No store, at any tier
This is not a paywall. The capability does not exist to upgrade into.
The usual workaround
Embedding someone else checkout, which sends your buyer to another brand mid-purchase.
Hard to be found
A Sites page rarely competes for the searches a real product page can win.
The address gives it away
A shared subdomain reads as a project rather than a business.
What selling actually needs
Product pages, stock, a cart, a checkout on your own domain, and receipts.
The alternative
A real site with the store in it, built for you at no cost, on your own domain.

QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Can you add a shopping cart to Google Sites?01
Not natively. There is no store, no checkout and no payment handling, and no paid tier that adds them. The common workaround embeds a third-party checkout, which moves the buyer off your brand at the moment of payment.
What should I use instead?02
A site that treats selling as part of the product. We design and build one for you at no cost, on a domain that is yours.
What does it cost?03
The design and the build cost nothing. You pay only the standard costs every website has: domain, hosting, software license. No design fee, and we take no cut of your sales.
Why would this be free?04
The free-design program is operated through Instinctor Design Academy. Academy-trained designers build real business websites under senior professional supervision, and every site is reviewed before you see it.
