# 👥 Duplicating Products

## Duplicating products is a quick way to create new items that share similar details (price, description, VAT, etc.) without rebuilding them from scratch.

This guide covers how to duplicate a product and what to check afterwards.

### How to duplicate a product

**Step 1 - Log into Controls and open Products**

- - Go to your [**Slerp Controls**](https://controls.slerp.com) as admin.
    - From the left-hand menu, click **Products tab**.

**Step 2 - Find the product you want to copy**

- - Use the search bar to look up the product by **name** or **SKU**, or
    - Browse to it via the relevant **Category**.

**Step 3 - Create the duplicate**

- - In the product list, click the **Duplicate** button for the product you want to copy.
    - Controls will create a new **“product copy”** with the same core settings as the original.

**Step 4 - Edit the new product copy**

- - Click into the new **product copy**.
    - Update: 
          - **Product name** (e.g. change “Margherita Pizza” to “Margherita Pizza (Large)”)
          - **SKU** (so it is unique and matches your internal systems)
          - **Category** if this product should sit in a different menu section

**Step 5 - Save your changes**

- - Once you’ve made the necessary updates, click **Update Product** to save the new product.

### After duplicating – what you still need to configure

When you duplicate a product, most key fields are copied over. However, the following **are not fully carried across** and will need to be checked or rebuilt:

- **Variants**
  
    - If the original product had **Variants** (e.g. Small/Medium/Large), you will need to **recreate these** for the duplicated product.
    - Once created, remember to add prices to each variant.

For detailed guide, see:

 📘 **[Variants](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/variants?hsLang=en)**

- **Variant prices**
  
    - After setting up variants, make sure each variant has the correct **price** configured.
    - Prices do **not** automatically copy across variant combinations and should be reviewed carefully.
- **Product Modifiers** 
    - Any **Modifiers** attached to the original product (e.g. extra toppings, sauces, sides) need to be **re‑attached** to the new product.
    - This ensures your upsells and options appear correctly in the storefront.

For detailed guide, see:

**📘** [**Modifiers**](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/modifiers-1?hsLang=en)

### 💡 Best practice

- Use duplication when creating **similar products** (e.g. flavour variations, size variations, seasonal versions) to ensure consistency.
- Always double‑check: 
    - Category
    - VAT Settings
    - Pricing (including variants)
    - Attached modifiers

This reduces the chance of incorrect pricing or missing options on your live menu.
