A shop is a place where you can drop extra inventory to be sold to customers. You must have one of your companions stay at the shop to sell items to customers. The salesperson's success is dependent on his or her Charisma attribute and Negotiation skill.
[edit] Assigning a salesperson
Go to the register in the shop. The 'Assign' command will ask you to specify which companion will work at the shop. While that companion is a salesperson, he or she cannot be in your party. A good candidates for shopkeepers is Master thief. An even better candidate is Rogue archer that you meet on rogue boss encounters. Later on, when you have high fame, rogue archers will spawn at very high lvls (and stats) and dominating one of them will net you a very capable shop keeper.
[edit] Earning Money
There are two ways to earn money from shops.
The first way is to sell items at the shop. Drop items inside the shop and your salesperson will try to sell them to visitors. Anything in the shop may be sold, including rotten food and junk items. You will get varying amounts for the sold items, depending on the salesperson's sales abilities. As the salesperson sells items, the shop's ranking will increase.
The second way is to gain ranks. Each shop rank increases the base income of the shop. Benefits you gain from high shop ranks are quite insignificant, so don't count on it so much. Higher shop ranks do however, make your shop sell better, so that is definately a plus side to it.
Stolen items cannot be sold in your shop.
[edit] Expanding Shops
Your original shop can hold a maximum of 10 items. You can expand your shop by paying extra money: the first expansion costs 2,000 gp, and each additional expansion costs +1,000 gp. Each expansion increases the item limit by 10.
