HELP! How do I set up a shop for an RPG?

What I’m aiming to do is make some shopping widgets for different types - field items (drinks, foods, etc.) and tools (parts, etc.). I will add weapon and armor shops in the full retail build; but right now, I want to make those shops functional - for buying and for selling.

I followed two tutorials, but I ended up not understanding every single detail. Also, one of the tutorials doesn’t explain how to make thumbnails on an image representing an item appear, nor does it explain how the first item on the data table doesn’t appear in the shop when it’s supposed to.
