Copying Products and Categories Overview | Time-Saving Toolbox

This tutorial walks you through Infigo’s built-in “Copy” function, which lets you duplicate individual products or entire categories inside the same storefront in a couple of clicks. You’ll see how to rename the new product, decide whether to pull across every detail, and (for categories) choose options like including nested products, preserving the parent category, and publishing status. It’s the quickest way to spin up near-identical items or sections without recreating them from scratch.
