Mechanic is an automation development platform for Shopify. :)
Clear the clutter in your orders list, automatically! On a scheduled basis or on-demand, this task scans for orders that are more than X days or hours old, and cancels and closes the order if its financial status is still marked "pending".
Runs when a user triggers the task. Configuration includes interval to wait before checking each order, interval is in hours, interval is in days, void payment when possible, cancel fulfillment and restock to default location, send cancellation email to customer, and tag to add to the order.
This task scans for orders that are more than X days or hours old that have a financial status of "pending", and ensures that they are all closed and cancelled. Orders that are already closed will be cancelled, and orders that are already cancelled will be closed. Optionally, choose to add a tag to such orders, and Mechanic will ensure that all qualifying orders receive your chosen tag.
If configured with an interval in hours, this task will run hourly. If configured with an interval in days, the task will run every night at midnight, in your store's local timezone. Run this task manually to perform the scan on demand.
Tip: To easily see which orders this task has cancelled, fill in the "Tag to add to the order" option.
Mechanic is designed to benefit everybody: merchants, customers, developers, agencies, Gurus, 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.
