I think in English we say, " I also used to come to this shop", but in question form the 'd' is dropped so "Did you also use to come to this shop?" is actually correct.

We use used to + infinitive to talk about a past situation that is no longer true. It tells us that there was a repeated action or state in the past which has now changed.
