Greeting shopkeepers is mandatory. It is considered rude to walk into a store without saying 'Bonjour' or 'Bonsoir'. Similar to France, 'Bonsoir' is used, but you might hear 'Bonsoir' used more casually in social settings. Very formal usage of 'Bonsoir' is common in professional settings. Swiss French speakers are very polite and use 'Bonsoir' consistently in all evening service interactions.
