Mechanic is AWESOME. Learning to create the right task for a job using Mechanic has opened up possibilities for my gigantic store with hundreds of thousands of items. I no longer have to listen to Shopify's native AI assistant explain the limitations of various Shopify admin tools and features. I can simply whip up a script on Mechanic to request exactly what information I want to see and what changes I want to make. When Shopify's tools leave me dry, I can always just tell Mechanic to solve it programmatically. You can turn a raw request like "check my whole store for items with a compare-at price between $0 and $15, and then add $5 to that price" into code that does exactly that, and you can customize reporting and etc on the success of that request. Lean on AI LLM's to help you build your tasks. It's worth it!

Eccezionale.

E' vero che Shopify Flow può fare cose utili ma Mechanic fornisce una granularità, flessibilità e ampiezza di operazioni di gran lunga superiore.

Il punto forte di Mechanic è proprio il fatto che parla la stessa lingua di Shopify ovvero Liquid e si integra perfettamente nel suo ecosistema API.

Di sicuro uno strumento immancabile per uno Shopify admin.

Il team di Mechanic è sempre stato formidabile nel fornire aiuto e spunti e attraverso la loro community Slack c'è la possibilità di raggiungerli con rapidità, suggerire idee e scambiare consigli con altri utenti.

Fortemente raccomandata.

Mechanic is a great orchestration/automation tool, but I think more importantly the Mechanic team is what the future of an "outsourced brains trust" looks like. They are welcoming and supportive and they know their stuff.

We’ve replaced several apps with just this one!
I've used Mechanic for about a year now. Their huge library of pre-built tasks made it easy to get started auto-tagging customers or orders, scheduling product publishing, sending notifications for big orders. Setup was easy.
When I needed something custom (a complex order hold and release workflow), I was easily able to learn enough Liquid to modify an existing task to achieve what I wanted. The documentation is good, and their Slack community is also super helpful.
If you've ever thought "I wish Shopify could just do X automatically," this is probably your answer.

Thanks so much for this ❤️ It really means a lot to us. We put a ton of care into making Mechanic genuinely useful, so hearing this makes our day.

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.

Thanks so much for sharing this. We love hearing when Mechanic helps unblock something that’s been hard to solve, especially when it clicks quickly and unlocks exactly the flexibility you needed. ❤️❤️ Wishing you lots of success with your business!

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.

WOW 🤩 Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy you found Mechanic for all of your automation needs!

This is hands down the most incredible app in the app store. Over the years I've used it to automate fulfillment of customized products, support our customer service team with problematic order flagging, build sophisticated data workflows (now that metafields/objects exist), and generally solve so many problems when someone says to me "we need a new app that does X" or "can you source a software that does Y". If you're creative, if you're a systems-minded person...you can almost always leverage Mechanic to solve your complex automation problem on shopify
