The above is a non-exhaustive list of the objects in Donation Store. There is quite a bit that is left out because they are not essential to the front viewing of the store. The above is provided so you can create templates for the webstore and most of the other stuff is hidden away. If there is information you'd like and want docs about, please Open a Support Ticket and request it.
