This feature lets you easily duplicate a product across multiple language versions. It is especially useful when creating a sibling product or a similar product where much of the same information should be reused.
Create a copy from product list
Navigate to the product list and select a product you want to make a copy of.
Select between options
- Selected: “Selected” will only create a copy for the selected language.
- Click All to create a copy of all languages.
Input new product ID and SKUs
Here you can input the new product ID, along with new skuIds for all the existing variants. You will also get warnings at top, example “Existing SKUs vary between language versions”.
This means that variants are different on the different language versions. Only the existing variants on each language version will be copied over to the new product.
Preview language variants
If we change the language to preview, we can see which language language will be created, and which language version contains missing variants.
Example
Original Product (EN):
- Variant 1
- Variant 2
Original Product (NO):
- Variant 1
In this example, the Norwegian (NO) version of the product is missing Variant 2.
All three variants will still be displayed, each with input fields for “Original SKU” and “New”. However, the new products will only include the variants that exist in the original product version—each with an updated SKU ID.
Create the product versions
When “Create” is clicked, we validate that IDs and SKUs are unique.
Validation
If validation failed, we list all the products that caused the validation to fail (ID/SKU in use).If we click “back”, all the fields that have to be changed will be highlighted with a red border to make it easy to change the necessary fields.
After updating the skuIds, we can click “create”. A list of the created product versions will then be displayed.
