Chaps sure to be involved in shopping (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

purchases

'shopping' is the definition.

'chaps sure to be involved' is the wordplay.
'to be involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'chaps'+'sure'='chapssure'
'chapssure' is an anagram of 'PURCHASES'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for purchases that I've seen is " commodities".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
