	Shops are complex things, but they have only a few basic components - The Sales floor, on which all transactions are done, and the back room, where records and backstock are stored. In general, the {{com\|SHOP}} verb will be your central resource for manipulating your shop. Using this verb, you can control the mood of your shop, how it looks, how long people are kicked out for, who an item is reserved for, and so on.

In general, the {{com\|SHOP}} verb will be your central resource for manipulating your shop. Using this verb, you can control the mood of your shop, how it looks, how long people are kicked out for, who an item is reserved for, and so on.

	To get started, you might not want your shop called '{~~player~~}'s Shop'. Changing this charges your shop's account five platinum of the local currency, and is immediately effective. You can use '~~{{com~~\|~~SHOP}}~~ {{tt\|SETUP NAME [Name Of Your Shop]}}' to do this.		To get started, you might not want your shop called '{Character}'s Shop'. Changing this charges your shop's account five platinum of the local currency, and is immediately effective. You can use '[[Shop_command#SHOP_NAME\|{{tt\|SHOP SETUP NAME [Name Of Your Shop]}}]]' to do this.

			''Note: The actual command is {{tt\|SHOP NAME [Name of your shop]}}, not {{tt\|SHOP SETUP NAME}} as the in-game text suggests.''

	After you've settled on a name, you might want to start selling items! A new shop starts with only one surface to sell things from - a table. You can purchase additional or replacement surfaces for your shop, but we'll get to that later. In order to sell things from your shop, you can use '{{com\|SELL}} {{tt\|[ITEM] for [AMOUNT]}}'.

	The first thing you have to do to get customers into your shop is to open your shop. Your shop is always open as long as you are out on the sales floor - As long as you are there to monitor your customers and accept payment, the shop will be open. When your shop is open and you are on the sales floor, you will receive trading experience for any sales made. Leaving your shop untended for too long will result in the guards closing it down until you return.		The first thing you have to do to get customers into your shop is to open your shop.

	If you would like your shop to be open when you're not there, you can use the {{~~com~~\|SHOP}} ~~{{tt\|~~SCHEDULE}} command to coordinate those hours. For times when your shop is scheduled to be open but you are not present, you will not gain any trading experience for sales made. Additionally, in order to pay the staff that tend to your shop while you're away, the associates will take a 3% commission from any sales that they make.

	Be aware that it is dangerous to leave your shop untended for too long - Issues may arise that negatively impact your shop, and if you run out of stock on your sales floor, your shop will not be earning any money.

	Customers - the bread and butter of every shop. Customers come in all shapes and sizes, and in all manner of social class. From barbarian warlords to worldly clerics to simple peasants, all types of folk will pass through your shop during its tenure. Sometimes, though, customers can become unruly, or downright disruptive. Thankfully, as the owner of this shop, you have the ability to manage your customers.

Sometimes, though, customers can become unruly, or downright disruptive. Thankfully, as the owner of this shop, you have the ability to manage your customers.

	For the good customers, you have some facilities for bargaining. You can reserve an item for a customer using the syntax ~~{{com~~\|~~SHOP}}~~ {{tt\|RESERVE [item] FOR [customer]}}. This allows an item to be set aside for a particular customer, giving them time to retrieve money from the bank, or granting them a specifically reduced price.

		⚫	To re-price an item, you can use [[Shop_command#SHOP_PRICE\|{{tt\|SHOP PRICE [item] AT [value]}}]]. This allows you the flexibility as a merchant to change your prices as demand and interest changes. Be aware, though, that changing the price of an item renders it unsalable for thirty seconds, allowing customers the chance to be aware of the price change.

		⚫	For the customers that you don't want in your shop, you have two options as well. If a customer is being disruptive and you'd like him removed from your shop, you can use [[Shop_command#SHOP_REMOVE\|{{tt\|SHOP REMOVE [customer]}}]]. This will kick the specified customer out of your shop, and he will be kept out by the guards for a number of anlaen. By default, this number is 2, but you can change it by using [[Shop_command#SHOP_TIMERS\|{{tt\|SHOP SETUP TIMES REMOVAL #}}]].

	For bad customers that keep coming back, you have the option to blacklist a customer. Blacklisting a customer is serious business, and in order to spread the word throughout the plaza and its guards, it will cost you a nominal fee of one silver per Elanthian week (Real Life day) that you will be blacklisting them for.

	Buying furniture at a furniture gallery will never charge you outright, and will always charge your shop instead. Additionally, any surfaces that you buy from the Crossing location will be able to have their noun changed if you use the ADJUST verb on them (while in the backroom, while they're empty). This allows even more customization to your shop - By reassembling your furniture in new and unique ways, you can make your shop look even more like you want it to.
