Customization
Most items can be customized, which allows you to change the color of items. If customization is available for an item, unlocking it costs 2,000 cheese, or 20 fraises for regular clothing items, 4,000 cheese or 150 fraises for a shaman item skin. For 2 items, a head item 
and a trampoline skin 
, customization is automatically unlocked for free.
Customization was added on 21 May 2012 (V1.41) alongside the release of fraises. Before this update, no customization on items was possible, and all items had to be redrawn before this update to be customizable.[2] Having both red 
and green 
lightsabers (which are the same except for color) is a byproduct of this early constraint.
Gifting
Since 11 February 2015 (V1.223), it is possible to gift any shop item purchasable with fraises to someone on Transformice. This does not work on items you've purchased for yourself (therefore meaning you cannot use gifting as a means to "discard" items). There is a limit of 10 gifts per day.
Your account must meet certain requirements to be able to gift. The requirements are a bit different for each account, but the following list gives a general idea of what is needed. You need to have spent at least 20 hours on the game, have bought a fur for yourself at least 15 days ago (with the exception of furs formerly known as Colors), gathered 200 cheese and have registered your email.
If you chargeback a fraise purchase transaction you made on Steam, you are permanently blocked from gifting items.
If a player who has gifted you is banned for payment fraud, the items (and fur badges, if applicable) which that player gifted are removed.
Outfits
When the feature was added, you could make up to 20 outfits . Now, the limit is unknown. Outfits were added in the shop to quickly change between designs. This feature was added by community request on 25 September 2013 (V1.107).[3]
The shaman marking color is saved for each outfit.
Fashion Squad
The Fashion Squad makes outfits that can be purchased from the shop since 29 August 2016 (V1.330).[4] These pre-made outfits are only available for a week before they are replaced with new ones every Tuesday. You aren't charged for items you already own, and some discounts will be given for purchasing the whole outfit. The minimum price of an outfit is 100 . After a server restart, the number of free customizations in an outfit can change, changing the outfit's fraise price.
Fashion Squad outfits can't contain cheese-only or reward items.[5]
Collector
Collector items are items available for a limited amount of time, before they become unavailable again. This is intended to make the items more valuable. Certain collector items may be available during an event, and become available again in the same event the next year.[6]
There used to be a "Collector" tab but it was removed.
There have been complaints about the feature being frustrating,[7] and it was found that the feature did not increase the likelihood of people buying the items,[8] which eventually led to the collector system being removed. However, it was later added again.
Pricing for collector items used to work as follows: the first week they were listed as collector items, they were available to buy for cheese and fraises, the second week they would only be available to buy for fraises.[6] This was changed and now collector items can be bought with cheese or fraises for 2 weeks.

Dressing room
The /dressing chat command can be used in-game to dress your mouse and share designs. This command was added in January 2021, and was previously a Fashion Squad-only command.[9]
Fan made
It is possible to try out or take pictures of different styles for your mouse out-of-game by using unofficial dressing rooms:
- Dressing room by Fewfre
- Shaman item customizations by Fewfre - lets you test a customization before buying it.
- Fur color code finder—lets you find the hex code for a specific color on a fur to help you design outfits.
Layers
Shop items are layered in a specific order depending on their category. Furs are separated into different parts; e.g. the front ear goes above eye items but the rest of the body goes below them. A list of them (e.g. eye items go above contact lenses, mouth items, etc. but below ear items):
- Ears
- Fur: the front ear
- Eyes
- Contact lenses
- Fur: the eye
- Hand (on most animations, including static)
- Mouth
- Head
- Hair style
- Neck
- Fur: the head
- Hand (on the running animation)
- Fur: the front arm
- Tattoo
- Fur: the front leg
- Tail
- Fur: the tail
- Fur: the rest of the body
On 1 October 2022 (V1.722a), a new item layering system was added.

Trivia
- The shop was added to Transformice on 19 June 2010 (V0.26).
- From 21 November 2010 (V0.118) to 23 September 2011 (V1.7), clicking on Papaille in map 801 would open the shop. Guests could use it to check their cheese and buy shop items.
- In the early years of Transformice, there were event currencies such as hearts
for Valentine's Day 2013, eggs 
for Easter 2013, and presents 
. - When a new shop item was released, • Woooohoooo! New hat available! ^_^ would appear in the chat.
- From Carnival 2014, shop items were no longer rewarded by events (although badges, consumables, etc. were introduced in their place). While they are still released alongside events (for purchase with cheese or fraises), is was decided by Atelier 801 that "giving out what you sell for free was a bad move" according to monetization stats (and this decision has improved shop sales).[10] Vegetable Garden 2019 saw the return of a shop item rewarded from an event.
- Despite there being hair styles, many hair styles are in fact head items, as these were introduced before the introduction of hair styles as a separate type of "clothing".
- Fraise is French for strawberry.
- On 29 December 2015, the blackout feature was reintroduced alongside the "Collector" tab (which "replaced" the "Colors" tab). However the blackout feature was removed just under a month later (V1.281).
- On 2 January 2016 (V1.277), guests acquired the ability to buy shop items.
- Before V1.393 all shop items had the same scale in the shop; V1.393 changed that however, and now items scale up to the largest they can be and still fit in the UI.
- Many of the items in Transformice are based on popular internet culture, such as:
- Minecraft - A creeper (hostile mob in the game that explodes) themed head item, and a diamond pickaxe mouth item.
- Vocaloid - The hair style of Hatsune Miku, a popular character in vocaloid fandom, and the white bow of Rin and Len as well as Len's hair.
- My Little Pony - Hair styles of most of the main characters and Cutie Mark Crusaders (some as head items, others as hair styles).
- Anime - Several item designs including black Kamina shades, Ichigo's sword, Luffy's hat, Naruto's headband etc.
- From 9 March 2017 (V1.367b) until 2018, players were rewarded with fraise fragments
for watching advertisements from Vidcoin (buttons: 
). - The shop soundtrack was added on 11 March 2020 (V1.558).
- The current shop interface was released on 20 January 2023 (V1.741a). It uses the following icons:
. - The sales category was added on 17 May 2013 (V1.81). From 22 September 2014 (V1.190), 3 random items were put on sale every week.
- Favoriting items
to the favorite section was added on 15 February 2024 (V1.802).
