'der Shop' and 'der Onlineshop' can both mean a shop on the internet. In this sense, they are often interchangeable. The difference is that 'Onlineshop' makes it completely clear that the shop is on the internet. 'Shop' can also mean a real shop in town if the context is not clear. That is why learners may confuse the words. If you want to avoid misunderstandings, use 'Onlineshop' for a website where you can buy things. 'Shop' is shorter and works well when it is already clear that the topic is the internet.
