Shop Types
QuickShop supports multiple shop types, allowing shops to behave differently depending on their mode.
The built-in shop types are:
- Selling
- Buying
- Frozen
Each type changes how the shop interacts with players.
Selling Shop
A Selling shop allows players to:
- Buy items from the shop owner
- Pay money to receive items
This is the most common shop type.
Buying Shop
A Buying shop allows players to:
- Sell items to the shop owner
- Receive money in exchange
This is commonly used for:
- Resource collection
- Server buy-back shops
- Automated material sinks
Frozen Shop
A Frozen shop temporarily disables trading.
While frozen:
- No buying is allowed
- No selling is allowed
- The shop remains intact
- Staff or admins can manage it
This is useful for:
- Temporary suspensions
- Investigation
- Event locking
- Maintenance
Switching Shop Types
Shop types can be changed through:
- Control panel
- GUI control panel
- Admin commands
Frozen mode is also available via:
/qs freeze
Custom Shop Types
As of 6.2.0.11, the system supports extensible shop types internally.
While server owners use the built-in types, the system now allows future expansion through addons.
Summary
Shop types allow you to:
- Control how money flows
- Enable buy-back mechanics
- Temporarily disable shops
- Build advanced economic systems
