1 / 3Built interface — Shop screen
Overview
Economy & Shop System gives a Rust server one currency and the places to spend it. Players earn from playtime, from events you flag through the API and from selling to the shop. They spend in a CUI shop organised by category, trade on a player market where listings are held in escrow, and transfer balance to teammates with a command. Balances are stored in oxide/data and can be kept or reset per wipe from the config.
The shop is a full-screen CUI with tabs for resources, components, weapons, attachments, medical and vehicles, each item showing a buy price, a sell price and the icon Rust already has for it. Prices live in one JSON file with a multiplier per category, so an admin can make guns cost more before a wipe without editing a hundred lines. Purchases go straight to inventory or drop at the player's feet when it is full.
The admin panel is in-game as well, so price changes, refunds and balance corrections happen without leaving the server. Every transaction is written to a log with the player, item, amount and balance after, which makes chargebacks and dupe reports easy to check. Rewards for playtime and kills are configurable with caps per hour so nobody farms a balance overnight.
The economy exposes an API that other plugins can call for deposits, withdrawals and balance checks. While you are subscribed, the plugin is rebuilt after each forced wipe and when Oxide, uMod or Carbon change, and price files are revised when Rust adds or retires items. The plan page lists the current plugin versions and the Rust build they were last tested on.

- Economy plugin
- Shop plugin
- Market plugin

Features
- One price file
- Every item price sits in a single JSON with category multipliers, so a wipe-day price change is a number, not a rewrite.
- Escrow market
- Listings hold the item until a buyer pays, so a player market runs without staff standing over trades.
- Every coin is logged
- Each purchase, sale, reward and transfer is recorded with the balance after it, which makes dupe reports a lookup rather than a guess.
