How to Clone a Product
You are able to Clone any Product in your system to create a new variant based on it. When adding new Products to your system it is usually much easier to Clone a Product than to create it from scratch, because you’re usually just changing one or two things, such as Strain or package size. A good use case is when you add new Strains, because you’ll need to add matching Products for the new Strains you’ve added.
To clone an existing product, follow these steps:
- Locate the Product you wish to clone on the "Products" or "Manage Menu" page within the Inventory Management module:
- Click on the Product's name to navigate to its Product Detail page:
You can also navigate to the Product Details page by clicking on the eyeball icon next to the Product Name of a Batch in Inventory Management > Batches:
- Click the "Clone" button located at the top-right. A "Clone product" window opens:
Before changing anything, note the words “Clone product – From” and the original product’s name should appear at the top of the window, confirming that you’re not overwriting the original item you cloned from.
- Enter a new Product Name and modify the new product's information (Product Line, Sub-Product Line, Package Size, Strain, Unit Price and images) as needed.
- Click "Clone & open" at the bottom right of the window. Everything else is copied from the original product, and you’ll land on the new product to finish the rest.
- You’ll land on the new product’s Product Detail page with a green "Created" message. Finish the remaining details and click "Update" to save them.
Note: "Clone & open" stays disabled until you change the "Product Name" field - this is to prevent users from having multiple products with the same name.
