Answer

One must conduct an inventory of the shop's stock, assess it according to current market prices, and pay 2.5% of its value if it reaches or exceeds the nisaab.

**Follow-up: Is that the purchase price or the selling price?**

The current market value -- the price it is worth and can be sold at, not the purchase price.
