Documentation

This task demonstrates Shopify's ability to edit orders through the admin API. It's intended to be a starting place for developing more specific functionality. Out of the box, this task automatically adds a product to orders that (optionally) meet an order minimum.

Configure this task using a variant ID. (To learn how to find this, see How do I find an ID for a product, collection, order, or something else?.)

Developer details

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.
