This paper explores the shift from traditional, monolithic e-commerce platforms (like Etsy ) to modular, developer-focused "headless" systems such as Shoppy.gg . While major retailers move toward complex cloud-native architectures, a new class of has emerged specifically for digital goods—software, licenses, and media—leveraging automated delivery and API-driven payment systems.
