Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task as a starting point, for allowing visitors to submit their carts to be transformed into draft orders, associated with their customer account. Installing and customizing this task requires some level of comfort with Liquid, HTML, and JavaScript.
Runs . Configuration includes shared secret, mechanic webhook event topic, and mechanic webhook url.
Use this task as a starting point, for allowing visitors to submit their carts to be transformed into draft orders, associated with their customer account. Installing and customizing this task requires some level of comfort with Liquid, HTML, and JavaScript.
In an appropriate place in your cart template, add a button to send the cart data to Mechanic. Use the following code to get started:
<input
type="button"
id="mechanic_cart_submit"
value="Send to Mechanic"
data-cart="{{ cart | json | escape }}"
data-customer-id="{{ customer.id | json | escape }}"
data-customer-id-signature="{{ customer.id | hmac_sha256: "secret!" | json | escape }}"
>
Note the "secret!"
- this must match the "Shared secret" option you choose in the task's configuration. It can be any value you like, as long as it's exactly equal between your task configuration and your theme code.
Adjust to taste. :) The code in the task script and in the online storefront JavaScript are meant to be a beginning point, as you build out the experience you're looking for. If you have any questions about the Mechanic side of this, get in touch!
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.
