One spelling serves both the simple past (she shopped all afternoon) and the participle after have or be, and the final p doubles, as in stopped and dropped. Only the transitive uses take the passive, and that is where the word turns informal. In British slang a person who has been shopped has been informed on. Online, a photo that has been shopped has been digitally edited.
