Your first order is only the beginning. Build an online shop from a small garage, then do the work behind every sale: receive the stock, fill the shelves, pick the products and get the delivery ready for the courier. This first-person shop simulator puts you inside the business. Success is not just a number on a screen; it is a warehouse you can organize and orders you prepare with your own hands. SELL ON FICTIONAL MARKETPLACES List products on fictional marketplaces and decide what to sell through your own website or each marketplace channel. Compare commission and net margin, then plan around delayed payouts: a sale does not mean the money is already available for your next stock purchase. Compete for the Buybox through price, delivery promises and seller reputation. MAKE THE SHOP YOURS Choose your website theme, select featured products and set the threshold for free shipping. Follow market prices and trends, decide what to sell and find a price that balances demand with your margin. Your next purchase needs to make sense for the business you are running today. BUILD A WORKING WAREHOUSE Order goods from suppliers and plan around their delivery times. Carry cartons from the receiving area to the racks. Stock only becomes available to sell once it is shelved, so a good purchasing decision still needs practical work on the warehouse floor. GET THE ORDERS OUT Customers buy through your website. Push the picking cart through the aisles, collect their products and bring the loaded cart to the dispatch area. Plan your routes and your work around the courier pickup. Miss the collection and the shipment has to wait until the next day. TRY YOUR MARKETING IDEAS Create campaigns on fictional search and social advertising platforms. Choose keywords, audiences, budgets and campaign length. Compare clicks, costs and sales to decide what to improve, what to advertise again and when to stop spending. KEEP THE BUSINESS IN BALANCE Pay rent, taxes, electricity and courier bills. Leave room in your cash flow for the next delivery before investing in a larger warehouse. Expanding the shop gives you more opportunity, but also more decisions to get right. Enjoy the stocking and growth of supermarket simulators? Here that familiar retail loop moves online: customers order on your site, and their purchases leave from your warehouse. Build the operation behind every order, one shelf and one business decision at a time. EXPLORE E-COMMERCE THROUGH PLAY See how pricing, inventory, commission, ad budgets and cash flow affect one another. Try different decisions in a fictional business simulation, observe the results and build your understanding of the operation behind online sales. This is learning through play, not a promise of real-world profits. A HOME AFTER WORK Own and furnish a home, then finish the day by sleeping in your own bed. All product brands and advertising platforms in the game are fictional. No affiliation with real companies or services is intended.

Open a neighborhood kiosk and run it from behind the counter in Mini Shop: Store Simulator. Order stock, fill the shelves, serve customers and keep track of the day's takings, all in first person. Use your in-game phone to order snacks and drinks. When the delivery arrives, carry the boxes inside and put each product on its shelf. Keep an eye on what is selling so you can restock before you run out. Customers bring their own shopping lists. Prepare their orders, pack the bags and take payment at the service window. Accept cash or cards, enter the amount and count out the right change. There is always another job waiting between sales. Set your prices and decide how to spend your earnings. Complete daily goals, unlock products and add more shelf space as your business grows. Check the end-of-day report to see how much you sold and what the day cost you. Give your kiosk a name and choose its paint, awning and exterior details. Make it a familiar stop in the neighborhood, one working day at a time.
