Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task when the pricing for your products can be automatically calculated by multiplying with compare-at prices.
Runs Occurs when a user manually triggers the task. Configuration includes multiplier when calculating price, required product tag, run automatically for product updates, run daily, and test mode.
Use this task when the pricing for your products can be automatically calculated by multiplying with compare-at prices.
Run this task manually to process your entire product catalog, optionally filtering by product tag. Or, choose to have this task run whenever products are updated, or run daily, at midnight in your store's local timezone.
Mechanic is designed to benefit everybody: merchants, customers, developers, agencies, Shopifolks, everybody.
That’s why we make it easy to configure automation without code, why we make it easy to tweak the underlying code once tasks are installed, and why we publish it all here for everyone to learn from.
(By the way, have you seen our documentation? Have you joined the Slack community?)
