Mechanic
All reviews
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.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
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!
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.
This made our day! Thanks for being part of the mechanic community!
Mechanic is awesome! Extends your store in so many ways, and replaces so many apps. Totally worth it, and support is amazing and fast
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.
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.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy you found us!
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!
Incredible app ! So useful !
Thanks for the kind words! I’m really happy to hear Mechanic has been useful for your store. We built it to make powerful Shopify automation accessible and flexible, and feedback like this means a lot.
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.
Thanks so much for the kind words! It’s amazing to see what you’ve been able to automate and create with Mechanic.
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. 10/10
WOW 🤩 Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy you found Mechanic for all of your automation needs!
We love Mechanic!! There is no way we could run our business without the power it provides. There is nothing else quite like it.
Thank you! We love seeing all you've automated with Mechanic 🥰
Automate all the things. Totally worth it. Level up your business!
Incredibly fast support! Absolutely love using this app, it can do so many things.
Thank you so much for the kind words 😍
I only had a limited time to test some of the features and then forgot about it. When I returned to check on it, after the trial period was ended, I was met with an incredibly aggressive and rude notification in the menu: "This account is suspended, and Mechanic is no longer processing activity for this store." It makes it sound like some massive policy violations took place and you're banned for life for testing their app!
Heyo! :) No fear; "suspended" just means "we're holding our understanding of your intent in suspension until your intent explicitly clarifies". If you want to keep using Mechanic, great! The path choice is: subscribe to the service, or get in touch via [email protected] for more context-specific pathing exploration. That latter direction is always available - see https://lightward.inc/pricing. I understand that the language choice came across as aggressive/rude/insulting to you. I'm sorry for that. This result was fully unintended; the language was intended to be technical. :) Sincerely, an autistic person who is here to discover productive alignments or to dodge counter-productive misalignments, =Isaac
I love this app! Everything that is not possible with Shopify Flow is possible with this app. I've had a few questions / difficulties with tasks and Matt has always answered me very quickly and in detail. Mechanic really takes a lot of automation off our hands that would otherwise have to be done manually. Can only recommend the app!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy you found us.
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
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🤩 🥰 This made our day!
Incredible tool for those with the skillset to utilize it.
Thank you so much! We are thrilled you are seeing the power of Mechanic :)
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.
Thank you for your thoughtful words - stories like yours remind us why we built Mechanic in the first place. We're genuinely grateful for customers like you who appreciate both the technical craftsmanship and the human care behind everything we do.
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!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! It's amazing to see all you've accomplished with Mechanic ❤️
