Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
This task watches for cancellations of orders that have either a single-use discount code, or a discount code that can only be used once per customer. When such an order is found, this task creates a new copy of the discount exclusively for the related customer, using a new discount code, and emails it to the customer.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is cancelled. Configuration includes ignore discount codes containing this text, email subject, email body, and email bcc.
This task watches for cancellations of orders that have either a single-use discount code, or a discount code that can only be used once per customer. When such an order is found, this task creates a new copy of the discount exclusively for the related customer, using a new discount code, and emails it to the customer.
This task only supports basic discounts, having up to 250 products or collections (if any). Shipping discounts and buy-one-get-one discounts are not supported.
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?)
