How to Unlock the Nook Shopping App

Buy 100 Items through Nook Shopping

ACNH - Nook Stop - Unlock Nook Shopping app
To get the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone, you need to have ordered 100 items through Nook Shopping at the Nook Stop.

Once you have made your 100th order, a message will appear congratulating you, and rewarding you with your new app!

How to Get the Nook Shopping App

Only 5 items can be ordered per day

ACNH - Nook Stop - Nook Shopping Order
You can only order up to 5 items each day. This means that it'll take at least 20 in-game days to make 100 purchases, so be sure to buy 5 items every day.

We recommend getting K.K. Slider songs, or items you don't have yet!

If you can't wait 20 real days to order 100 items, you can always time travel to 20 different in-game days in one real day. Check our guide below to find out how!
Time Traveling Guide

Invite amiibo Camper

ACNH - Nook Stop - amiibo scanning

The Nook Stop can also be used to read amiibos and amiibo cards to call villagers to your island.

If you become friendly with these visitors, you may just be able to persuade them to stay on your island. For more information about amiibos, check out the link below!

List of amiibos and Compatibility

Unlock Campsite to use amiibos

Before you can use amiibos, you need a place where the villagers can stay while they visit.

In other words, you need to unlock and build the Campsite before you can use amiibos. Tom Nook will explain the feature once it unlocks.

See our guide on the Campsite and amiibos here:
