Oh wow. This is massive news IMO and a huge win for Shopify.

Excited to see what this new API gets used for. Hoping it's not just Amazon-like, where you can subscribe to monthly shampoo or battery deliveries...

  It's more like extension that allow shopify merchants to sell physical goods on subscription basis. For example: coffee that will be delivered to you every week. But I think they will have support of digital subscriptions too

I think the likes of Carthook will leverage best offering post purchase upsell to subscriptions through the native checkout.
