  • License: Is required to use a Farm Building as a business. After completing the requirement, a letter will show the next day letting you know the license is available. The license will show in the shop ONLY after the letter is opened. Buildings on Paradise Island do NOT require a license.

  • Market Town Storage Large/Small: Put items in there and it will have a chance to restock nearby tables after an item is sold. If you set a new table, you have to put item on there first manually. Craft in crafting menu.
  • Restaurant Decor: Put this on a table and visitors will have a chance to 'sit' around the table and order food. Only valid in buildings with Restaurant or Market Town licenses, and Paradise Island houses.
  • Market Log: A log that shows many details about your sales, rating, ... Can buy at Robin shop.

You can use any buildings on Farm as a store ( Shed, Cabin, Greenhouse, ... ). All you need is to display a License on a Sign inside:
  • Museum License: Donated 30 pieces to Museum; buy at Adventurer Guild. Visitor to buildings with Museum License will pay a ticket price based on the number of gems, minerals, artifacts, and statues inside. They do not buy the display items, but they might want to special order some foods.

Customer will rate: The last item they bought today ( if the item is food, rate by the gift taste, else rate by the quality ), 
the decoration of the area near the item( 17x17 centered on the item), the decoration of the area nearby themself ( 25x25 area; on Island and Farm only )
Customer rating is needed to level up Market Recognition level
  • Satisfaction Score: if item is food: hate -> love = 1 -> 5 stars; if not food: normal quality -> iridium quality = 2 -> 5 stars
  • Aesthetic Rating: the number of tiles that are crops or decorations in the area, increased from 0 tile found to a maximum score at above 58 tiles ( for example a chair = 1 point, coffee table = 2 points, festival dining table = 10 points )

Paradise Island detail:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • A special island that has only 3 seasons Spring, Summer, and Fall. In spring every crop and fruit tree can grow ( like a greenhouse). Trees have a chance to grow faster, have extra daily fruits, and have higher maximum fruits.
  • The island can be open for visitors. Then you can set up a resort and sell items ( which return higher price than any other place ). The visitors will randomly visit the Island house and any buildings on the Island.
  • When the island is open for visitors, every Saturday will be a festival Market Day that you have yourself a grange to sell items, and some other villagers also have their own stalls. The money earned during this Market Day will be counted toward your Island Progress score.
  • Island Progress score is the money you earned during Market Day / 2000000 ( see Config ). A higher progress score mean more visitors to the island, unlock new shops during Market Day, higher sale prices, higher chance for crops to grow, ...
  • The Villagers' shop stock can be customized ( see Config -> Advance )

General:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • The selling price differs by location: Paradise Island house > Paradise Island > Farm Building > others. Other factors affect price: gift taste (food), quality (non-food), decoration score, customer interaction score (per customer), during rush hour, market recognition level, store theme (licensed Farm Building only), island progress score (Paradise Island only)
  • Customer interactions: After vanilla dialogue, there is a chance that NPC will be given some new dialogue. Interacting with them will increase your interaction count with that villager. If they buy anything later that day, they will pay a higher price than normal
  • A customer may have a chance to "recommend" your store to nearby villagers: If they are positive about the item (good quality, good taste, good decor), they will share a "positive recommendation", or "negative" otherwise. When nearby villagers receive "positive recommendation", it increases the chance they will buy something. If it is a "negative recommendation", they will not buy anything the rest of the day.
