Duplicate products

When you add several products with many similarities, duplication can help speed up the entry process and save you time. By copying a product, you can modify specific changes instead of repeatedly filling out the product information.

If you want to add options to a product, such as color or size, then add a variation to the existing product instead of duplicating the product.

When you successfully duplicate a product, you will have an exact copy of the original product. The only thing that will be different is the SKU, it is generated automatically since it must be unique.

To duplicate a product:

1. Select Catalog > Products on the left-hand sidebar.
2. Open the product you want to duplicate.
3. Click Duplicate Product:
   
4. Modify product details.
5. Click Save.

Delete products

You can delete a single product, or delete multiple products at once using a bulk action. When you delete a product, it's permanently removed from the store. Deleted products can't be restored.

If you run out of stock or no longer want to display a product for any reason, but don’t want to permanently delete it from your store, then you can Disable the product availability instead.

If you want to remove a product from a category, you can unassign the product from this category. If you want to remove products from the Featured Products section only, you should remove these products from the default Store Front Page category.

To permanently delete a product from your catalog:

1. Select Catalog > Products on the left-hand sidebar.
2. Choose a product you want to delete.
3. Click Edit Product, then select Delete Product:
   
4. Confirm you want to delete this product.

To delete several products at once (for example, sample products that are added to the store to show you examples of product setup):

1. Select Catalog > Products on the left-hand sidebar.
2. Check multiple products in the list.
3. Click Bulk Update above the product list.
4. Choose Delete Selected:
