Mechanic

Finally, an App that actually works. After trying many solutions and discovering they fail silently, only do 50% of the job, or just won't work, Mechanic was a breath of fresh air. I'm so glad to have found Mechanic. The team has the right attitude, response, and a product that actually works, unlike half the other stuff out there.

WHAT a brilliant company and app!
"did you know Mechanic can do this out of the box without any custom API coding? Click here…” I am using Mechanic to do tasks that I previously used Integromat to accomplish, but using Mechanic is faster, cheaper and arguably better since it is tightly integrated with Shopify. Tasks such as:
1. Capture order payment upon fulfillment
Upon the fulfillment of an authorized or partially paid order, this task attempts to capture all open authorized payments for that order. (Multiple authorizations can exist on edited orders or with post-purchase upsells.) 2. Auto-tag orders with UTM parameters
This task automatically tags incoming orders with the UTM campaign, content, medium, source, and/or term associated with the customer’s visit. 3. Auto-tag customers when their order is tagged
This task watches for order tags, and adds a corresponding tag to the customer whenever a known order tag is found 4. Send an event to Klaviyo when a fulfillment is out_for_delivery
yup -- this will replace other apps that do ONLY delivery notifications. so 5, 6, 7 tasks are all fulfillment related. ALL ENABLED WITH ESSENTIALLY ZERO CODE Support was fast to reply when I had a basic onboarding question.
The Slack community is also a huge positive.
Did I say the documentation is spectacular? Mechanic can be a geeky as you want it to be, but it can also dumb down for non-coders. I'll update this review in a month, then again in a year.
But after 7-days, OMG this is a wonderfully powerful addition to any store.
5-stars

There are around 300 automations that are amazing. We're using mostly quality-of-life tasks for our store, but this app can be such a huge time saver. Oh and their support is amazing (and fast). This is really one of the best apps you could find on the store and I wish more people knew about it so we can support this amazing development team!

Great app that can solve a lot of simple (yet crucial) "I wish Shopify did this automatically" type problems, and the support team is amazing to work with when you need help.

Incredibly helpful service team. I have had this app for years and whenever an issue arrises they are quick to help and resolve it.

Mechanic is THE BEST app on Shopify hands down. It should have a lot more 5 star reviews then it currently has now.

Support is great! Isaac, Matt and the team on slack does such an awesome job helping answer questions for trouble shooting tasks or even task writing. Even if you're not writing your own tasks, the task library constantly have new tasks that provides great utility uses in your everyday operations.

The pricing philosophy is one of the best I've ever seen. The team really does work with you regardless of if you're a small or big revenue merchant.

Why is Mechanic the best? Just think Shopify Flow, but on steroids. It can do almost any task to make your backend operations organized and fluid. Need to tag orders that is the customer's first order? Or tagging customer for membership product and removing it after the membership duration is over? There's a task for that.

As of now there are 332 tasks in the task library. Go check it out and see if it has what you need - https://tasks.mechanic.dev/

A fantastic app, and top-notch support! We use this to automate a few different tasks, including removing tags after x days, and sorting collections for oos product. We also had a request to copy tags to metafields, the team helped us with this, which saved us days of work!

Truly amazing app! To have access to Shopify's API without having to host an app ourselves is truly a gamechanger!

All other apps suck hahaha seriously the amount of value this app provides is INSANE. SO MANY THINGS they do for your shop, so easily, without needing to do code work or managing one million apps to do those things. Mechanic does everything it feels like haha. Customer service is more helpful than any app I've tried. Literally obsessed with this app and all that it can do and the people behind it!

I mainly installed this app to help manage my orders for my handmade items. I am limited to how many I can take per day, but with a large inventory it’s impossible to be manually monitoring and deactivating (plus this leads to enquiries ‘wHy CaN’t I oRdEr’, because FAQs are obviously just there for fun!).
Plus it’s impossible to monitor when you are sleeping I use the task which limits daily orders and had a number of back and forths with Isaac to get this set up. He was extremely patient and thorough with me, and I now have a store that is perfectly self managed! Can’t recommend enough!
