How to run a shop:

Shop requests will be filled out here. Once approved you can open up your shop in the
Shopping District.
How to buy items:
Members buy items from shops from using the point system (aka Coins). Shop owners will set their prices for their goods and members will make a request for said item in the store. Once the deal has been set the shop owner
will go to the bank posting their earnings. Rarity then will add the points to the shop owner and subtract points from the shopper. She will check to make sure the earning amount is correct.
