# 🏪 How to Create a Player Shop

You can easily set up a player-run shop using **ChestShop** on the Mine-play server. Follow these steps to get started:

## 🧱 Step 1: Place a Chest

Place a **chest** on the ground where you want your shop to be located. This chest will hold the items for sale or purchase.

## Step 2: Place a Sign

Place a **sign** **one block away from the chest** (typically **above it** works best).

## 🖊️ Step 3: Write the Sign Text

Edit the sign using this format:

```
Line 1: (Leave empty)
Line 2: <Amount>
Line 3: <Price>
Line 4: <Item Name or ID>
```

### 📌 Sign Line Breakdown

* **Line 1 (Owner Name):**
  Leave this line empty. The plugin will automatically fill in your username.

* **Line 2 (Amount):**
  This is the **number of items** you want to buy or sell in each transaction.

* **Line 3 (Price):**
  This line includes the **Buy** and/or **Sell** price using these formats:

  * `B 5` → Players buy the item for \$5.
  * `S 5` → Players sell the item to you for \$5.
  * `B 5:5 S` → Players buy for \$5 and sell for \$5.
  * `S free` → Players can sell the item to you for free.

* **Line 4 (Item):**
  Add the **item ID or name**, or simply type `?`:

  * `?` will autofill with the item from the chest.
  * You can also click the sign with the item in your hand to set it.
  * To find an item's name, type the command:

    ```
    /iteminfo
    ```
