Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
This task works by setting your inventory to zero when the order limit is reached. (Specifically, this means setting inventory levels to 0 for all items that have a greater-than-zero inventory level.) When the limit is reached, your inventory will be dropped to zero. If your store is configured to stop selling out-of-stock products, your customers will be prevented from making additional purchases.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created and Occurs every day at midnight (in local time). Configuration includes maximum daily orders, only count orders matching this query, only clear inventory for products with this tag, restore inventory levels the next day, and restore inventory levels on demand.
This task works by setting your inventory to zero when the order limit is reached. (Specifically, this means setting inventory levels to 0 for all items that have a greater-than-zero inventory level.) When the limit is reached, your inventory will be dropped to zero. If your store is configured to stop selling out-of-stock products, your customers will be prevented from making additional purchases.
And, this task can restore inventory to its original levels at midnight the next day, or on demand. (Restore levels on demand by enabling this option, then using the "Run task" button.).
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?)
