Mechanic allowed us to create a custom action for our app so we could offer the same promotion we were running on our site. It worked exactly as needed — no issues with functionality at all. Their support team was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend if you're looking to extend Shopify’s capabilities without heavy dev work.

We love hearing how you used Mechanic to bring your site promotion into your app without needing a developer - that's exactly why we built this thing! Thank you!!

Since we began using Mechanic over 4 years ago, it's become essential to our day to day operations. Here are just a few of the things we've been able to do with Mechanic, all of it requiring no staff supervision:
• Importing order data into our UPS shipping system
• Managing inventory and product synchronization between Shopify and our legacy systems
• Automating order printing and notifications
• Synchronizing data with Typesense for custom search functionality
• Creating custom checkout processes for our B2B customers
The sky is the limit in what you can do with this app, and developers in Mechanic's Slack space are continually coming up with and sharing novel solutions to customers' problems. If you're in need of any kind of automation or custom backend functionality for your store, we highly recommend giving Mechanic a go!

Mechanic is the bets tool for automation of flows in Shopify. I tried a few other well know tools, and Flow, and none of them could do what I needed easily - essentially a customer makes a purchase and within 0 seconds to 5 minutes after that purchase we'll receive digital stock of the product... I needed a way to check and re-check for the digital product, then trigger a fulfilment email to the customer.

Not only did Mechanic make this easy but it already had a built in flow!

Support is incredible - highly responsive, clear and super friendly.

And the "pay as you feel" is not just words - they really mean that. I have just started out and that has helped me no end.

Thanks Mechanic. You are the best!!!!!

Mechanic is such a thoughtful app. It finally solved a small but super annoying issue we’d had for years—our shipping insurance (a digital item) wasn’t auto-fulfilling properly. I’d even reached out to the insurance provider, UPS Capital, but they were completely useless at helping us fix it.

It didn’t mess with our day-to-day operations, but it always bugged me. I’d tried every workaround I could think of and nothing worked... until Mechanic. It fixed the issue immediately.

Also, the team behind the app is incredible. Real humans who are kind, responsive, and clearly want to help your business succeed. That kind of support is rare. I'm looking forward to finding many more ways Mechanic will help us optimize our backend operations. Highly recommend.

We love Mechanic! It allows us to automate our post-purchase flow for 10s of thousands of users effectively. They’re team is amazingly responsive, the community of developers around it are incredibly helpful and we wouldn’t be able to run our store without it. Definitely recommend for any small business to enterprise store!

Excellent. You can do incredible things with this app. The support rules, they are so kind and really care about solving your Shopify puzzles and breaking you free of Shopify’s basic limitations! They helped me set up some custom code, super responsive and fast to help me get it sorted. And when I stopped running my Shopify store full time after 10 years, they helped me lower my subscription cost so that I could keep my Mechanic tasks running long term. It’s a bargain for a versatile app and I’m glad to have supported it full price for a long time.

Mechanic is incredible. It lets you accomplish many things that would normally require custom apps or scripts. Saves us a ton of development time and the burden of hosting/maintaining custom solutions. Awesome team behind it too. Just wish we'd discovered Mechanic sooner!

We love Mechanic! It's the most powerful app in our store and I think in the whole Shopify app store. When you got some basic liquid coding skills and API understanding, you can basically do everything without writing a custom app for it. In this way, you can save a lot of money.
