Browse online retailers as it's quiet at work (4)

I believe the answer is:

shop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'browse' is the definition.
(I know that browse can be written as shop)

'online retailers as it's quiet at work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'quiet' could be 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet) and 'sh' is found in the answer.
'work' could be 'op' (short for opus) and 'op' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shop that I've seen before include "Denounce; boutique" , "Betray - place selling things" , "Place to buy" , "Be disloyal to" , "sales outlet" .)
