👥 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 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

  • 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.

💡 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.
