What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for automating complex tasks and enhancing Shopify functionalities such as order fulfillment and inventory management. It offers a vast task library and integrates well with external systems like UPS. The app is reliable, with responsive customer support and a helpful community on Slack. Its flexible "pay as you feel" pricing and detailed documentation make it accessible and manageable despite a learning curve.

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.

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

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 team@usemechanic.com 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. :)
