You can think of one or many Cashu payments as a deferred Lightning payment. Especially useful for asynchronous transactions: A merchant can always accept ecash from any mint and, depending on their appetite, either swap out to mints they trust or to a non-custodial Lightning wallet when they come back online and need to process orders.

As a merchant, you can't get rugged if you never received the actual payment.

On the other hand, sellers can also define the mints they require a token to be from (Cashu payment requests contain this information). That way, the sender is expected to get ecash from a specific mint (typically using Lightning). These transactions are typically instant.

Nostr stores should support cashu payments sent in secure DMs. Buyer can reclaim the payment if seller doesn't reply.

Seller doesn't need a payment processing or e-commerce server, mobile phone is enough. Maybe the cheapest and easiest way to run a small online store.

Some sort of order management UI for buyer and seller on the client side would be nice.

Just thinking aloud, only tried Shopstr so far but should check out others as well (Amethyst?)
