# Duplicating a Product

Duplicating copies every setting from an existing product into a new one and opens it for editing. It's the fastest way to build a range of related products, and every field it copies is explained in [Creating a Product](/products/creating-a-product.md).

*Dashboard → Content → Products → the **actions** column on the right. Needs `product_create`.*

## Duplicating

1. Go to **Content → Products**.
2. Find the product in the list.
3. In the **actions** column on the right, click **Duplicate**.

The new product opens straight away, carrying everything from the original.

## When it saves time

Rank ladders: build Iron Rank fully, duplicate twice for Gold and Obsidian, adjust name, price and commands, then put all three in a [tier group](/products/tier-groups.md). Per-server variants: duplicate and change the game server selection. Seasonal versions: duplicate last year's event package and adjust the availability period. Price experiments: duplicate, change the price, and run them in different periods.

## Change these before you sell

The duplicate inherits everything, which is the point and the risk:

| Field                   | Why                                                                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Name**                | Two identically-named products confuse customers and your own order history.                                 |
| **URL slug**            | Must be unique.                                                                                              |
| **Price**               | The most common thing left wrong.                                                                            |
| **Commands**            | Almost always the reason you duplicated. A Gold Rank still running the Iron command is silent and expensive. |
| **Game servers**        | Especially for per-server variants.                                                                          |
| **Description**         | Still describes the original's perks.                                                                        |
| **Image**               | Inherited from the original.                                                                                 |
| **Stock**               | Inherited limits carry over.                                                                                 |
| **Tier group**          | Set it if this belongs to a ladder.                                                                          |
| **Availability period** | An expired original produces a product nobody can buy.                                                       |

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Test the duplicate before announcing it.** Buy it yourself and confirm the command that runs is the *new* one. An inherited command delivers the wrong package, and the first person to notice will be a paying customer.
{% endhint %}

There is no sandbox, so use a 100% [coupon](/marketing/coupons.md) or a [gift card](/marketing/gift-cards.md) rather than paying for it.

Running the same product name across several servers? Set a **custom label** on each so they don't appear as identical rows in [Subscriptions](/orders-and-subscriptions/subscriptions.md) and [Orders](/orders-and-subscriptions/orders.md).
