What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly value this app for its ability to automate complex tasks such as inventory synchronization, email automation, and external API integration. It offers a user-friendly interface with no-code options, making it accessible for non-developers, while still catering to those with technical expertise. The app is praised for its cost-effectiveness and robust support from both the development team and a user community on platforms like Slack.

Mechanic is our most important app for running our store - it handles all of our workflows on the backend, and helps us automate everything from sales, special events, sending orders to vendors, keeping track of preorder, backorders, inventory, and more. It's incredibly powerful and easy to learn for a developer. The documentation is also great, and there is a community on Slack that is ready to help if you run into anything complicated. The developer is also super responsive when you have questions. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Mechanic! This is the best app on Shopify hands down.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It really means a lot. I’m so glad to hear Mechanic plays such an important role in running your store, from events to inventory and everything in between. And I truly appreciate the kind words about our docs, Slack community, and support. That’s a huge part of what we strive for. Thanks again for trusting Mechanic.

Mechanic has been an essential tool for our shop.

We’ve used it to build and manage systems that go beyond Shopify’s native functionality, including pre-ordering, a rewards points program, a referral system, and a raffle system tied to real customer activity.

What stands out most is how flexible and reliable it is. Once a task is set up, it just works, and it gives us confidence that important automations are running exactly as intended. The support team has also been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had questions or needed approval for specific functionality.

Mechanic has played a huge role in helping us shape our shop into what we envisioned. Highly recommended.

Mechanic was the answer to a process issue that has taken us months to solve. We were looking to send customer emails when we add a tag to their order or customer record. The key was the email needed to include order specific fields and customer metafields. We had tried multiple apps over several months and nothing could accomplish this. Then we came across Mechanic. Once it was downloaded and setup for email we were able implement our solution in less then an hour. So easy.
This app is wonderful. It has a tremendous library of tasks that can be implemented. We are also using it to schedule sale price changes and reverting back to original price.
Highly recommend this app.
