Nook Shopping

What is the Nook Shopping app in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? This is an app that you can unlock that lets you use the Nook Shopping service from the Nook Stop anywhere you want.

How do I unlock the Nook Shopping App?

Before you get access to this App, Nook Shopping is only available at the Nook Stop at resident services. You can use Nook Shopping to purchase items that rotate each day through Special Goods, or purchase items that you previously obtained through the catalog.

In order to unlock the Nook Shopping App, you’ll have to purchase 100 total items from Nook Shopping at the Nook Stop. Nook shopping limits you to purchasing 5 items per day only, so that means you need to max out the items you buy each day for 20 days total. Once you have achieved this, a notification from the Nook Stop will let you know.

The app will then be provided to you, and you don’t have to access Nook Shopping through Resident Services any longer. Simply check your app each day.

Nook Shopping Features

Nook Shopping lets you purchase different items that rotate each day under Special Goods, then there are also catalog items for furniture, clothing, as well as wallpaper and flooring.

Special Goods will provide you items that change each day. These include 2 pieces of Furniture, different Clothing items, as well as a K.K. Song that you use. Take note that some of the items here may repeat in the future, or show items that you already owned.

Catalog items let you purchase Furniture, Clothing, wallpaper, and flooring that you have acquired already previously. This feature is added in case you want multiple items of the same type.

Nook Shopping Limit

Similar to the Nook Shopping at the Nook Stop, the app still retains the 5-item piece limit when purchasing each day. Once you have ordered 5 pieces in total, they will be delivered to your mailbox the next day.
