> A fully virtual, GUI-driven player shop plugin for Paper 1.21.1+
\n> **Made by Niko**<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
**Chestless Player Shops** lets players create and manage their own shops \u2014 no physical chests or signs required. Everything is handled through clean, paginated GUIs. Players set the item they want to sell, the item they want in return (as payment), and manage their stock virtually. Buyers browse all available shops from a single menu and purchase with one click.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– **Virtual Shops** \u2014 No physical blocks needed. Shops exist entirely in the plugin’s database.
\n– **Custom Shop Icons** \u2014 Each shop can have a unique icon visible in the shop browser.
\n– **Item-for-Item Trading** \u2014 Payment is always an item, never money. Set exactly what you want in return.
\n– **Stock Management** \u2014 Stock is tracked precisely. Items go out of stock when sold out.
\n– **Collection Bin** \u2014 Earnings are stored safely in a virtual collection bin for the owner to claim at any time.
\n– **Out-of-Stock Alerts** \u2014 Owners get notified in chat when an item goes out of stock, both live and on login.
\n– **Safe GUIs** \u2014 Custom inventory locking prevents items from leaking into or out of menus.
\n– **Multiple Pages** \u2014 Stock, collection bin, item list, and shop browser all support pagination.<\/p>\n
