Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its ability to replace multiple apps, saving costs and enhancing inventory management and fulfillment automation. It offers a range of functions, from syncing inventory to integrating with systems like UPS and Shipstation. Despite a learning curve for new coders, extensive documentation and a supportive community help ease usage. The flexible pricing and capability for advanced tasks make it ideal for developers and technically skilled users.

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.

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. :)

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.
