Shops are unique stations that are spawned randomly across the board in Bounty Hunt Mode. When the player chooses to stop at a Shop, they may use their stars to purchase any of the items listed in the Shop's stock. These items are able to buff the player in various ways such as granting stock effects, gaining cards, hiring minions, and more. Cards may be sold at Shops, and Shops are also able to gain further bonuses through Shop levels. In addition, Shops are integral in the completion of quests.
Basics[ | ]
At the beginning of every match, various Shops and locations spawn on random panels all around the board. Every 6 chapters, a new set of Shops and locations will randomly spawn, replacing the existing ones. Because Shops and locations are first spawned on Chapter 1, the refresh occurs on chapters 7, 13, 19, and so on. They will not spawn on 
Warp, 
Warp Move, or 
Move panels.
Players may choose to stop at a Shop anytime they either pass or land on it. Shops serve three main purposes: purchasing items, selling cards, and turning in quest items.
- The player may use their held stars to purchase any available Shop items. These items include cards as well as consumables which provide immediate stock effects upon purchase.
- Any held cards may be sold for stars by clicking the "Sell Cards" button. Each card has a different sell price, and certain Shop types may also pay more for certain cards.
- If the player has a Quest contract and its associated quest item, they may stop at the corresponding Shop type in order to complete the quest and earn Fame. The Shop type needed for a given Quest contract is indicated by the shopkeeper in the flavor text of the contract. In addition, an indicator arrow will appear above the relevant Shop type once the quest item is obtained. Completing a quest will take away both the Quest contract and quest item.

Shop Items[ | ]
Once inside a Shop, Stars may be used in order to buy items. Most of these items are consumables which can bestow the player with permanent or temporary stock effects. Items are typically used instantly upon being purchased, with only cards and equipment items being stored.
Each individual Shop carries its own random selection of items. A given Shop's possible items are based upon the Shop type, and each individual Shop has its own stock (separate from other Shops of the same type). A Shop's item stock is shown to all players when someone visits a Shop, and the stock persists until the Shops are shuffled.
Some items are classified as SSR-rarity items, indicated by their gold-colored glow in the Shop. These items only have a base 5% chance of appearing in a Shop, although this chance is increased at Shop levels 5 and 8.

Selling[ | ]
Cards can be sold to any shop by pressing the "Sell Cards" button at the bottom of any shop menu. Any type of card, except for quests and bounties, can be sold to receive an instant star gain and contribute experience to the shop being sold to. Selling a card counts as discarding it, so it will either be sent to the discard pile or removed from the game upon selling.
Every card has its own variety of sell prices. All cards start with a base sell price of 0, but get a number of additive bonuses, depending on a number of factors.
- The card's level increases its sell price by 2 + [Level].
- If the card has a star cost greater than 0, its sell price is increased by 2 + ([Cost] / 3).
- If the card is a Hyper, its sell price is increased by 4.
- If the card is a Max 1 copy limit card, its sell price is increased by 5.
- If the card is an SSR-rarity card, its sell price is increased by 10.
- If the shop being sold to is Level 3 or higher, sell price is increased by 5 due to the shop's level bonus.
- If the card is a Boost, Battle, or Event card, its sell price is increased by either 6, 3, or 1 depending on the type of shop it is being sold to.

Shop Level[ | ]
Shops can gain experience and subsequently advance in level when players perform various tasks. A Shop's current experience and level applies to all Shops of that type rather than just that individual Shop. Each type of Shop begins at Level 1 and can be leveled to a maximum of 10. As a Shop is leveled up, it accrues various bonuses such as cheaper items, higher sell prices, higher chance of selling SSR items, granting stars when completing quests, extra item stock, and extra Shop spawns.
Actions that will give experience toward a Shop include:
- Buying an item - 150 EXP
- Selling a card - 50 EXP
- Turning in a quest - 300 EXP

Price Adjustments[ | ]
All Shop items have a base star cost that can subsequently have a number of modifiers which will affect the final price of an item. Based on a baseline stat spread of +0 ATK, +0 DEF, +0 EVD, 5 REC, and 5 HP, characters will gain an adjustment to their Shop prices based on how positive or negative each of their stats is. ATK points will give a positive/negative 25% modifier, while DEF, EVD, REC, and HP points will give a positive/negative 10% modifier. Characters with less than 3 REC are counted as having 5 REC for the purposes of the modifier calculation. Consequently, the stronger the character's stats, the more expensive Shop items will be, and vice versa.
For reference, each character's Shop price modifier can be seen in the table below. This formula is also used to determine each character's starting star amount.

Minions[ | ]
Special types of units called minions can be purchased from various Shops. There are 3 types of minions: , , and . Purchasing a minion will spawn them as an extra unit that will walk around on the board, taking its turn after Player 4, but before . Each minion will have either the 
Orange color, 
Blue color, 
Green color, or 
Yellow color equipped, depending on the player who spawned it. Minions have +1 MOV, will only trigger movement-type panels, and will take certain actions each turn depending on the type of minion. They will remain on the board until they are KO'd. Upon summoning a minion, a HUD element displaying their icon and HP will appear next to the player's HUD (on all resolutions other than 800x600). A player may not have more than one active minion at once. Minions may also hold a number of stars and/or cards that they will use automatically, depending on the type of minion.

Other Modes[ | ]
Shops also appeared in the Shopaholic mutator of Chaos Mode during the Fool's Gambit event. They functioned near identically to how they do in Bounty Hunt Mode, including spawning mechanics, item stock mechanics, purchasing items, selling cards, character-specific price adjustments, and the leveling system. The only differences were all buy and sell prices being divided by 5, and a slightly altered item selection.
