Install:
Admin -> Packages -> Download Packages -> Simple Machines Third-party Mod Site, click on browse.
Select SMFShop from the list.  Chose download.
Err, then it's back to browse packages i think, and you select install next to SMFShop.  After that it guides you through installing, asking you for ftp details, and basically clicking Next.

Do you need more help for actually configuring the shop?  ie, adding items etc?

I wrote up some instructions previously, they're available at http://www.daniel15.com/smfshop_wiki/Installation
You can't use the browse function to find SMFShop, the actual file isn't listed on the MOD site (I had troubles with it...)

Yeah but what files do I upload? The zip? Just the folder? or all the files one by one?

Have you installed a mod on SMF before? You don't need to upload anything. Just follow the instructions for installing mods on SMF. Its quite easy!
Arrrrr!

no. This is my first time using SMF. I had a hard time finding <i>good</i> instructions on how to install it. I tried what they said but its not on the SMF server and if I browse through my HD I can only upload 1 file, like a PHP one and not the entire folder.

Can someone post a link or just tell me how to do it? Im having a hard time =/ I'm used to using phpBB.

You upload the whole ZIP to the SMF Package Manager.
I'll update my instructions to include screenshots :)
EDIT: Check the Wiki for the tutorial, now with screenshots :D http://www.daniel15.com/smfshop_wiki/Installation
