ML Shops turns shop creation into something you do inside the game, not inside a config file. Open the admin panel, drop a vendor NPC wherever you want, give it a look, fill its shelves with items and prices, and it is live for every player on the server. No restarts to add a shop, no editing tables by hand, no touching code.

An in-game creator, not a config file. Everything about a trader is built from the panel. You place the NPC in the world with a live placement tool, pick its character model, set an idle animation or a scenario, and choose a map blip with its own sprite, color and scale. Want the vendor to actually look like a character? Give it a full appearance: head shape, skin, face features, hair, beard and overlays, plus clothing and props like hats and glasses. There is even a copy my look button so you can clone your own outfit straight onto the trader.

The player side is a clean, modern store. Customers walk up to the vendor, open the shop and see items grouped into categories with a search bar, a stock readout and a running cart. They add what they want, review an order summary that lists the money cost and any required materials, and confirm. Items can cost cash, bank or other accounts, other inventory items, or a mix of money and materials. Prices, names and icons come straight from your inventory so the store always matches what players actually carry.

Stock that behaves like a real economy. Each item can be infinite or limited. Limited stock counts down as people buy, and the numbers update live on every open shop window the moment a purchase goes through, so two players shopping at the same vendor see the same shelf. You decide per item whether stock refills to its default on restart, and admins can restock a whole shop or set exact numbers at any time from the panel.

Vendors that move and keep hours. A trader can sit at one fixed spot, or rotate between several positions you define. Group vendors into categories that control how often they shuffle to a new location, so a black market dealer never stays in the same alley for long. You can also give a trader opening hours: it appears and disappears on its own as the in-game clock, or real server time, crosses the window you set, spawning and despawning for everyone automatically.

Access control built in. Lock a whole vendor to specific jobs and minimum ranks, so only police can use the armory or only a gang can reach a supplier. Individual items can carry their own job and skill requirements, and skilled players can unlock discounts on the items they qualify for. When ml_skills is running the panel reads your skill trees directly, so you can wire requirements and discounts without guessing names. Skills stay optional and the shop runs fine without them.

Made to scale and hard to cheat. Players can only buy what they are standing next to, can afford and can carry. Stock is held the moment someone checks out, so a failed purchase backs out cleanly with nothing lost or duplicated. Stock updates and shop refreshes are sent only to the players who actually need them, keeping things light on a busy server with many shops and many players online.

Logging and integration. Optional Discord logging records shop and item edits, purchases, stock changes, trader management and flagged exploit attempts, each routed to its own channel. A stable set of read and write functions lets your other resources read shop data, check whether a player can buy something, and adjust stock from missions or jobs, with write access locked to the resources you trust.

The interface ships with several ready-made looks and a main accent color you can set to match your server. Requires ox_lib and ml_bridge.
