Shop
The Shop is one of the two phases of your turn during a game of Galaxy (the other being the Fight). The shop normally consists of 3 characters. Each shop you have the option to choose one of the three characters to recruit by dragging it down onto your board (or to the bank). Starting on turn 3, a fourth choice, a Spell, is added to the shop. By default, you are presented with two shops per turn -- although there are various ways to increase this.
Shop Leveling
When you start the game on Turn 1, your shop contains only Common rarity characters. Every other turn (Turns 1, 3, 5, 7, 9), your shop levels up, and the next rarity tier is shuffled into the shop pool. At any time you can see the rarity of your current shop as well as how many shops you have remaining this turn from the small rarity icons in the top-right corner of the screen near the turn counter.

There have been rumors of a higher rarity (Secret Rare) that may be possible using special abilities.
Bonus Shop
Some effects (most commonly by silvering a character) provide the player with a Bonus Shop. This is simply an additional shop for the player that turn at no cost. You can see how many shops you have remaining in a turn from the symbols in the top-right near the turn number.
