Copy an existing promotion

Creating a new promotion based on an existing one lets you easily create a number of similar promotions, and lets you reuse promotions that were successful in the past.

This section applies to Open Storefront Framework (OSF) and Storefront Classic.

When you copy an existing promotion, the following values are automatically copied to the new promotion:

• Display name (By default, this will be set to the name of the promotion that was copied, followed by (copy). For example, Summer Sale (copy).
• Description
• Price groups
• All condition and offer properties
• Priority
• Folder
• Excluded promotions

When you copy an existing promotion, the following values are not copied to the new promotion:

• Start and end dates
• Promotion ID (A new ID is automatically assigned when you save the promotion.)
• Stacking rules
• Coupon or coupon batch
• Enabled status
• Any translations for shopper-visible properties, such as the name of the promotion. You can copy an existing promotion only in the store’s default language. Once you save the copied promotion, you can translate properties into other languages your store supports. See Localize Your Store for more information.

You can copy promotions created on the Promotions page of the administration interface. You cannot copy custom promotions created with the rawPmdlTemplate promotion template. For more information about custom promotions, see Create Custom Promotions.

To copy an existing promotion:

1. On the Promotions page, click the row of the promotion to copy and then click the Copy button.

   Click anywhere in the row except on the link that is the promotion’s name. Clicking that link opens the existing promotion.

2. Enter information about the promotion that was not copied.
3. Click Save.
4. (Optional) Create a coupon code that customers must provide to redeem the promotion. See Add a coupon code to a promotion for more information.
