Shopify
summary
Shopify exposes a JSON API with webhooks and a billing API so apps get push events and recurring charges with prorating handled centrally, and the app model is just an OAuth-like token granting a shop API access. Ten thousand storefronts sold about $100 million last year and about 15,000 merchants install 2–5 apps each. Examples shipped: Twilio/Tropo order-calls, TinEye image-to-product matching, async JavaScript injection for live chat, and graph-based recommendations.
