Hey! As someone who isn't super familiar with this space, I'm a bit confused about who your target user is. At first I thought it was for people who have a mobile app and want to publish it on a bunch of stores, but the APIs are all about querying products and customers, so I guess it's for integrating with eCommerce platforms? A concrete example use case on your website would help explain this to me a lot!

Browsing a bit through the doc I believe this is targeted to developers that build "apps" that online merchants can (buy and) use on their e-commerce website. I agree with alex: a sample app would probably make it more clear!
Thanks guys! Yes correct! we are targeting developers that are building apps/extensions for the website. Great idea about the sample app, will add!
advice from someone ina similar area: STARTER app not SAMPLE app. The former gives your clients a starting point to build production applications; the later is usually some throw-away sample code that quickly goes stale and causes nothing but support headaches. By extension, you will need to dedicate ongoing resources to keep this up to date; that's what you expect of your clients, so I hope you enjoy dog food!
