Freeze QuickShop-Hikari trading during a market investigation

Applies to: QuickShop-Hikari; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A trading freeze can preserve evidence while you inspect a pricing exploit. Confirm the scope of the installed freeze control before using it on a busy server.

Before you start

QuickShop-Hikari maintains shop records alongside container contents and economy transactions. Use the command help bundled with your release because aliases and optional modules differ. Begin with one player-owned test shop rather than a whole-market bulk action.

Work through the check

  1. Read the freeze command help and permission reference for your exact QuickShop-Hikari release, including whether the action affects the server or a selected scope.
  2. Announce the temporary pause and record balances and stock for the shop involved in the complaint.
  3. Apply the documented freeze in the smallest supported scope, then try a normal customer transaction and an owner stock-management action.
  4. Keep a timestamped note of the denied trade and the shop state before investigating prices, taxes or another integration.

What to compare

Record every shop and player affected by the freeze control’s documented scope. After reopening, make a small test transaction before telling customers that the whole market is available again.

Confirm the result

Customers should receive a clear refusal without losing items or money. You should retain enough state to compare the shop before and after the investigation.

If the result differs

If some trades still succeed, check other shop plugins and backend servers rather than assuming this control covers them. Do not remove the economy provider to simulate a freeze.

Recover safely

Unfreeze using the documented reversal only after the fault is understood and a controlled test passes. Avoid enabling an affected shop while another backend still uses the broken configuration.
