Description:
We need to integrate a 3rd part website's API to a wordpress site (It's a WordPress single site, not WPMU).
I have a feature request posted here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/another-similar-platform-needs-this-kind-of-wp-integration
What we do: sell subscription for a Windows software application which needs to charge customer monthly/annually. The subscription provides multiple options: software version (bronze, silver, gold), quantity (number of copies/instances), addon features and the quantity of each addon.
We will use a 3rd party service (http://zuora.com/) to do all the billing and payment. The website itself just needs to API the service and provide customer access for sign up and update.
The 1st stage goal is to implement the user cases given in the quickstart code to talk to this 3rd party subscription solution services.

This will include:
1. front end (new user sign for subcriptions, given multiple options to select from) and
2. back end (for customers to login and change their subscription options for the next upcoming billing cycle).
A rough eCommerce procedure is:
Step one: choose a version (standard, premium, vip)
Step two: choose how many computers you will need to install this software
Step three: choose which addons you need and quantity
Addon feature 1: enter your quantity
Addon feature 2: enter your quantity
Addon feature 3: enter your quantity
Step four: Add to cart and continue shopping
Step five: Check out
Step six: login to change options of existing subscription for the next billing cycle, login user/customer can also add new subscription and pay for it.
Step seven: admin can see each user/customer's back end page.
