The main benefit is avoiding hard coding any information that changes from client to client. We designed the scenarios we use to read all configuration information for the scenario to run from the data store. Things like is it quickbooks online or desktop. Our serial number to enable the scenario to run. The mapping of which types of invoices go to which accounts in quickbooks. And much more is stored in the data store record.
We interview our clients with a spreadsheet of questions and all that goes into the data store so when the scenario runs the first thing it does is read the configuration info from the data store which feeds the rest of the scenario. That way when we clone the scenarios we just have to configure the connections.
As for examples there is not much online because data stores can be used for all sorts of things. Just think of it as a spreadsheet that you store data with. We even use them as a temporary data storage when compiling the quickbooks desktop data file.
