Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Keep your draft order list tidy - use this task to automatically delete orders that are older than a configurable number of days.
Runs Occurs when a user manually triggers the task. Configuration includes days to wait before deleting a draft order, test mode, and run daily.
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?)
