QUESTION
If I pay my civil demand for shoplifting, no cops at the time of incident, will they drop the case and not send any more demand letters?

1. Consider whether any further collection action would be taken at all. I have heard that they are not likely to do anything. 2. If you elect to pay, put a release on the back of the check and send a cover letter noting that there is a release on the back of the check.

The actions of the merchant making a civil demand are those of the merchant, and not the law enforcement system. I would suggest before agreeing to meeting a civil demand that you should confer with an attorney.
