Hey, I'm Isaac. :) I'll keep this brief:

• Mechanic is the automation answer for Shopify. Merchants use Mechanic automate away the things that slow down their business – including the specific, unique-to-just-your-business things.
• Each Mechanic task we create goes into a growing library of ready-to-go tasks, ready for you to pick up and use as well.
• This means that, with every single merchant who comes to us for a new automation solution, Mechanic gets more valuable for you.

Let's talk about pricing.

• Pay what you want for custom tasks. Don't see your problem solved in our free task library? Put in a request, at a bounty of your choice, and let the developers come to you.
• Mechanic doesn't nickel-and-dime you. Pay one flat monthly price, and use Mechanic as much as you like.
• It's up to you. Assemble a bunch of other automation apps, pay for them individually, hope that they work together, *or* pay once a month for Mechanic, pay what you want for each new task, and confidently scale your operation without scaling your costs.

But what are merchants actually *doing* with Mechanic?

• Saving staff time every morning and night by automating the publishing and unpublishing of their online products to match their physical store hours.
• Increasing revenue through that critical final conversion step by setting daily reminder emails to customers, for orders that have yet to be paid.
• Increasing customer loyalty by auto-tagging customers according to their buying habits, allowing automatic, targeted discounts to kick in.
• Establishing customer relationships by sending simple customer-signed-up emails to staff, so that the staff can reach out and make that crucial first connection.
• Identifying the best referral sources by tagging orders based on their ?ref= urls.
• Keeping customers engaged and informed by emailing them as soon as their order is approved and their payment is captured.
• Keeping their Shopify admin clean and focused by auto-archiving orders that don't require further staff action.
• Saving thousands of dollars on custom app development by using Mechanic to plug into third-party APIs.

… and more every day. Here's a sample from the task library:
