Copy a product
Guide to copying a product in Shoporama - including variants, images and descriptions.
If you need to create a product that's similar to an existing one, you can copy it instead of starting from scratch. The copy will have all the data from the original product, but with a new item number.
How to copy a product
- Go to Products in your admin panel
- Find the product you want to copy
- Click Copy in the menu with the three dots on the product’s row, or click the icon with the two overlapping squares if you’ve selected Copy as the icon under Customize View. When you select the icon, you’ll first be asked if you want to create a copy. You can also select the product and click Copy in the bar at the bottom
- A new product is created with all the data from the original, and the copy opens immediately
- Edit the title, item number, price, and other fields as needed
- Click Save
What gets copied?
When you copy a product, the following are included:
- Title and descriptions (Description A and B)
- Prices — including sale price and cost price
- Images — all product images are copied
- Categories — the product is placed in the same categories
- Custom fields — all custom fields and their values
- SEO fields — meta title and meta description
What isn’t copied?
- Product ID — you must specify a new, unique product ID
- URL — the new product gets its own URL based on the title
- Stock status — stock is reset to zero on the new copy
- Sales statistics — the copy has no sales, so the number of items sold and the sales statistics start at 0
Tip
The Copy feature is ideal when you have many similar products—for example, the same product in different colors. Create the first product thoroughly, and then copy it to the other variants.
