Before taking a look at our tutorial on how to clone products/campaigns, be aware of the types of products that can be replicated between store types:
(*): All relevant designs will be copied into the target store.
(**): All relevant product combos and shipping fee setups will be copied into the target store.
(***): All relevant print files or preview images will be copied into the target store.
Go to the store's admin site that has the products/campaigns you need to clone, select Products > All products (on ShopBase and PlusBase) or Campaigns (on PrintBase).
Choose the products/campaigns you want to clone to your new store. You can tick one or several products/campaigns at a time.
Select Action, choose Import product/campaign to another store.
In the Import product/campaign to another store pop-up window, select the target store you want to copy the product or campaign to by clicking the box Choose a store.
In If the importing handle exists, process the import as follows, you can select:
Skip the product: Imported products with the same handles as existing products in the target store will be skipped.
Keep both products: Imported products with the same handles as existing products in the target store will be kept. The new handles will be differentiate by -1 suffix.
Override the existing products: Data of the imported products will override the data of the existing products in the target store. The handles remain unchanged.
If the Override the existing products option is selected when cloning campaigns from PrintHub/PrintBase to another ShopBase/PrintBase store, data of the imported campaigns will NOT override the data of the existing campaigns in the target store.
To create track-id-productid or track-id-variantid tags, select Keep current Product ID/Variant ID in tracking services and product feeds of the target store. This will keep the old tracking codes when syncing your product to advertising platforms. For more information, read our article on how to customize product tracking IDs.
Ticking the checkbox will automatically generate new Product/Variant Tags in the format track-id-xxxx for all selected products, in which xxxx is the product/product variant ID of the source store. Leave the checkbox unticked if you don't want to make any changes to the custom tags you added.
After selecting the store, press Import.
You can visit the target store to check the product/campaign replication progress. From the target store's admin page, go to Products > All products (on ShopBase) or Campaigns (on PrintBase) . Click on the icon as shown below.
You will see the progress as below.
