pay

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

'cash receipts?' is the definition.
'pay' can be an answer for 'cash' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'receipts?' bit.

'in a shop a year's' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PAY' is hidden in the letters of 'a shop a years'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pay that I've seen before include "Remuneration" , "Earnings" , "Financial reward" , "Give money in exchange for goods or services" , "Hand over money for" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
