How to Duplicate a Shop Product

How to duplicate an existing shop product in PLAI to quickly create a similar product with the same variants and settings, without copying stock or order history.

  1. Open the product you want to copy and tap the menu.

  2. Select Duplicate Product. A new draft product is created with the same name, description, price, images, variants, personalisation, fulfilment, visibility, and notification settings as the original. Stock and order history are never copied.

  3. You land straight in the new draft in edit mode. Update the Name, Price, and image at minimum, since these usually need to differ from the original.

  4. Adjust visibility, category, or anything else you want to change.

  5. Tap Save as Draft to keep working on it later, or Publish Product to make it live right away.

Note: The duplicate is a completely independent product with its own ID. Editing or deleting it has no effect on the original.


FAQ

Does duplicating copy the stock count?

No. The duplicate always starts with no stock set, since stock levels usually differ between products.

Does duplicating copy past orders?

No. The duplicate has no purchase history of its own.

What if the original product had a sizing guide PDF attached?

Large files like a sizing guide PDF are not copied. You will need to re-upload it on the duplicate if you want one there.
