# Creating Your Shop

{% hint style="info" %}
This [starter repo](https://github.com/LIQNFT/candy-machine-v2-with-marketplace) gives you different shop configurations out of the box. You can also check out the [example](https://github.com/LIQNFT/candy-shop/tree/master/example) in the Github repo and its deployed version [here](https://master.d22tqykss69onq.amplifyapp.com/).
{% endhint %}

### Create Candy Shop

You can create and configure your Candy Shop through the [My Shop](https://candyshop.space)[ ](https://candy.liqnft.com/shop)admin panel, including the following:

* Create a shop with SOL or an SPL token as transaction currency
* Deposit syrup, a small budget to maintain your shop (e.g. gas fees for on-chain account space allocation)
* Restrict NFT collections that can be bought and sold on your shop
* Claim share of transaction fees from your shop

### Install Candy Shop

```shell
npm install @liqnft/candy-shop
```

or

```shell
yarn add @liqnft/candy-shop
```

### Use Candy Shop

Create a CandyShop instance in your code base to use Candy Shop.

```tsx
const candyShop = await CandyShop.initSolCandyShop({
  shopCreatorAddress: "6MfPdYNQNnvkYcFvcSK6w6magR6z25Ay2iaYFfYY1xfw", // Candy Shop owner address
  treasuryMint: "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112", // Candy Shop transaction currency
  programId: "csbMUULiQfGjT8ezT16EoEBaiarS6VWRevTw1JMydrS", // Candy Shop program ID
  env: 'devnet', // mainnet, devnet
  settings: settings // (optional) additional shop settings
});
```

**Additional Settings**

You may pass an additional settings object to customize your shop:

* `priceDecimals: number`
  * number of decimals to display for price numbers (default is 3)
* `volumeDecimals: number`
  * number of decimals to display for volume numbers (default is 1)
* `connectionUrl: string`
  * your mainnet connection node url (default is <https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com>). We encourage projects to use their own node provider. We discovered that in non-US region sometimes the node returns 429 rate limit error.
* `connectionConfig: object`
  * your connection node url configuration

**Default settings**

```tsx
const settings = {
  priceDecimals: 3,
  volumeDecimals: 1,
  mainnetConnectionUrl: 'https://ssc-dao.genesysgo.net/',
  connectionConfig: {
    httpHeaders: {
      '[NODE_SPECIFIC_HEADERS]': '[VALUE]'
    }
  }
};
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://liqnft.gitbook.io/docs/sdk-for-developers/solana/creating-your-shop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
