Anyone can open their own stall in a bazaar with some amount of PoE, which is determined by the type of stall, the population of the island, and the island's tax rate. On subscription oceans, a pirate must be a subscriber to open a stall, on doubloon oceans, an additional 10 doubloons are required to open a stall.
To open a shoppe you must first obtain a deed, usually from the governor of the island. All shoppes start off as construction site, which may only be placed by the governor of the island. Once the construction site is put up the governor immediately recieves the deed to the construction site, the deed may be traded straight away or the governor may keep it. After a shoppe is finished being built it may then start trading and rent will be required from this point onwards. As the space on an island is limited, shoppes are often sold for large sums.
