# Chest Shops

{% hint style="info" %}
Players can create a shop by placing a chest, selecting an item, and setting a price. Other players can then interact with the chest to purchase or sell items directly, making trading simple and accessible for everyone.
{% endhint %}

### How to create a shop

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Get a chest

Craft and place a chest where you want your chest shop to be. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Look at the chest

Type <mark style="color:$primary;">`/qs create <price>`</mark> while holding the item you want to sell, that's it!
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Editing your chest shop

**Right-click** the shop sign to open the **Shop Control Panel** in chat, where you can adjust your shop’s price, stock, and other settings.

### Finding a specific item

**To find a specific item**, type <mark style="color:$primary;">`/qs finditem <TO_BUY> or <TO_SELL>`</mark>, then press **space** and select or type the item you’re searching for. A **GUI menu** will open showing all player shops currently buying or selling that item.
