Customising your store with special features such as shipping tax, special promotions, colors, company logo, categories,sub-categories and more will require an upgrade.

Use your choice of check-out options for your free store. It supports PayPal, Google Checkout, WorldPay and others

As far as I can see, the only "catch" in using the Free Store offer is the mandatory placement of the  "Free Store" banner displayed at the top of each page. This can be removed with an upgrade to a paid store for a minimal cost.
