+## Preview
 
-You should have received a copy Of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If Not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+The UI adapts to your server's ESX theme colors automatically. Items are organized by categories with search functionality. Tax calculations are transparent - players see exactly what they're paying.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. **Download** and place `esx_shops` in your resources folder
+2. **Build the UI:**
+   ```bash
+   cd esx_shops/web
+   npm install
+   npm run build
+   ```
+3. **Add to server.cfg:**
+   ```
+   ensure esx_shops
+   ```
+4. **Configure** in `config.lua` (see below)
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+```lua
+-- Automatic image path generation
+Config.DefaultImagePath = "nui://ox_inventory/web/images"
+Config.DefaultImageFormat = "png" -- png, webp, jpg, etc.
+
+-- Inventory system
+Config.Inventory = 'esx' -- or 'ox_inventory'
+
+-- Tax settings
+Config.TaxRate = 0.19 -- 19% VAT
+Config.EnableTaxCollection = false -- Collect to society account?
+Config.TaxSocietyAccount = 'society_government'
+
+-- Job exemptions
+Config.EnableTaxExemptions = false
+Config.TaxExemptJobs = {
+    'police',
+    'ambulance',
+    'government'
+}
+```
+
+### Adding Shops
+
+Each shop needs items, categories (optional), and locations:
+
+```lua
+Config.Zones = {
+    YourShop = {
+        Items = {
+            {
+                name = "bread",
+                label = "Bread",
+                price = 15,
+                category = "food",
+                image = "https://your-cdn.com/bread.png"
+            }
+        },
+        Categories = {
+            {id = "food", label = "Food", icon = "fa-solid fa-burger"}
+        },
+        Pos = {
+            vector3(373.8, 325.8, 103.5)
+        },
+        Size = 0.8,
+        Type = 59,
+        Color = 25,
+        ShowBlip = true,
+        ShowMarker = true
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Icons:** Use [FontAwesome 6](https://fontawesome.com/icons) class names (e.g., `fa-solid fa-burger`)
+
+**Images:** The script automatically generates image paths based on item names. You have options:
+
+1. **Auto-Generated (Recommended):**
+   - Set `Config.DefaultImagePath` and `Config.DefaultImageFormat`
+   - Images auto-generate as: `{DefaultImagePath}/{itemName}.{DefaultImageFormat}`
+   - Perfect for ox_inventory users
+   ```lua
+   Config.DefaultImagePath = "nui://ox_inventory/web/images"
+   Config.DefaultImageFormat = "png"
+
+   -- Items without 'image' field use auto-generation:
+   {name = "bread", label = "Bread", price = 15}
+   -- Becomes: nui://ox_inventory/web/images/bread.png
+   ```
+
+2. **Custom Override:**
+   - Add `image` field to specific items to override auto-generation
+   ```lua
+   {
+       name = "bread",
+       label = "Bread",
+       price = 15,
+       image = "https://custom-cdn.com/special-bread.webp" -- Overrides auto-path
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Disable Auto-Generation:**
+   - Set `Config.DefaultImagePath = nil` or `""`
+   - Only items with explicit `image` fields will show images
+
+## What's Good
+
+**Performance:**
+- Client-side marker drawing is distance-based (only < 50 units)
+- Nearby shop cache updates every 500ms, not every frame
+- Dynamic sleep timers based on player distance
+- Numeric loops instead of iterators where it matters
+
+**Security:**
+- All prices validated server-side
+- Rate limiting (500ms between purchases)
+- Quantity limits (max 999 per item)
+- Inventory checks before money deduction
+- No possibility for price manipulation or duplication
+
+**User Experience:**
+- Loads instantly, no frame drops
+- Tax breakdown in checkout (players know what they're paying)
+- ESX theme integration
+- Search and category filters
+- Responsive design scales to any resolution
+
+## What's Not
+
+**Limitations:**
+- No stock/quantity limits per shop (infinite inventory)
+- No job-restricted shops (anyone can buy from anywhere)
+- No shop opening hours
+- No shopkeeper NPCs
+- Tax system requires `esx_addonaccount` if collection is enabled
+
+These aren't bugs - they're design decisions. The script does shops, not roleplay mechanics. If you need job restrictions or stock management, fork it.
+
+## Tax System Explained
+
+The tax system is opt-in and configurable:
+
+**Disabled** (`EnableTaxExemptions = false`):
+- Everyone pays the same tax rate
+- No special messages
+
+**Enabled** (`EnableTaxExemptions = true`):
+- Jobs in `TaxExemptJobs` pay 0% tax
+- Exempt players see "⭐ Thanks for your service!" message
+- Tax is calculated from gross prices (price includes tax)
+
+**Tax Collection** (`EnableTaxCollection = true`):
+- Requires `esx_addonaccount` resource
+- Tax deposits to configured society account
+- Logs warning if society account doesn't exist
+
+**Example:**
+```
+Item: $100 (gross price with 19% tax)
+Net:  $84.03
+Tax:  $15.97
+---
+Police (exempt): Pays $84.03
+Civilian: Pays $100.00
+```
+
+## Development
+
+**UI Stack:**
+- Svelte 5 (with runes)
+- TypeScript
+- Vite
+- Terser (minification)
+
+**Build Commands:**
+```bash
+cd web
+
+# Development (auto-rebuild)
+npm run dev:game
+
+# Production build
+npm run build
+
+# Type checking
+npm run check:strict
+```
+
+**File Structure:**
+```

+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+**"NUI not ready yet" on first use:**
+- This is normal on resource start
+- Just press E again after 1-2 seconds
+- The UI needs time to initialize
+
+**Images not loading:**
+- Check your CDN CORS headers
+- Use HTTPS for image URLs
+- Test URLs in browser first
+
+**Tax not collecting:**
+- Verify `esx_addonaccount` is running
+- Check society account exists in database
+- Look for console warnings
+
+**Shop won't open:**
+- Check F8 console for errors
+- Verify web/dist folder exists and has files
+- Rebuild UI: `cd web && npm run build`
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+On a typical server with 64 players:
+- Client: ~0.01ms average frame time
+- Server: Negligible (callbacks only)
+- Network: ~2KB per shop open
+
+Tested with 50+ shops on map - no performance degradation.
