Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to generate discounts for future purchases. When a customer buys a "voucher" product, they will be emailed a single-use discount code for either a fixed amount of money or percentage off a purchase on a corresponding "entitled" product".
Runs Occurs whenever an order is paid and Occurs when a Mechanic action is performed. Configuration includes voucher product ids and entitled product ids, discount code prefix, discount fixed amount, discount percentage, email subject, and email body.
Use this task to generate discounts for future purchases. When a customer buys a "voucher" product, they will be emailed a single-use discount code for either a fixed amount of money or percentage off a purchase on a corresponding "entitled" product".
If a customer purchases more than one voucher product, they will receive more than one email, each containing a unique discount code.
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?)
