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.

I love this app. I got it specifically to sync my blank t-shirt stock across my inventory so that I could offer a bigger range of products without fear of overselling. It has worked brilliantly for that. But also I have found many other uses, my favourite being getting it to check my entire inventory for a specific SKU and based on that add a new SKU in a new size, meaning I could add a new size of shirt to a couple of hundred items with just a few clicks. As well as monthly randomisation of the product order in some of my collections. Not the cheapest app, but the scope when you start to think about what it can do is really quite incredible.

Matt and his team are exceptional. My developers are in love with this app, and have installed it on all of our stores. If you constantly find yourself thinking 'I wish Shopify would do this..' or find any limitation in Shopify, this app solves it.

No gimmicks, no 'it's in our roadmap' it just WORKS.
