Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to copy each product's vendor to the product's tag. Optionally, you can apply a prefix to all vendor tags (e.g. "vendor-"). Run this task manually to scan every product in your store. Otherwise, this task will run for specific products, whenever a product is created or updated.
Runs Occurs whenever a product is created, Occurs whenever a product is updated, ordered, or variants are added, removed or updated, and Occurs when a user manually triggers the task. Configuration includes apply this prefix to vendor tags.

Note: When using the vendor tag prefix option, any tags on a product that contain that prefix, but do not match the current vendor, will be removed. This does not happen when the prefix option is not used or has been changed.
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.
