Use this guide to reuse an offer's setup instead of building a new one from scratch. The copy keeps your payment, fulfillment, and design settings, starts **Off**, and has no products attached, so nothing goes live until you're ready. ## What gets copied | Copied | Not copied | |---|---| | Payment type and billing options | Products and variants (the copy starts empty) | | Fulfillment setup | Markets | | Widget text and colors | Schedule start and end dates | | Discounts | Auto-release-holds date | | Countdown timer settings | Past "exact date" payment or fulfillment dates | | Line item properties | | Date-dependent settings are deliberately left out so you can't accidentally launch a copy on a schedule that has already elapsed. If the original used a fixed date that's now in the past, the copy falls back to a safe default: full payment at checkout, or **Unfulfilled** fulfillment status. ## Duplicate the offer On a phone, this menu is collapsed. In the **Shopify mobile app**, tap the **STOQ** logo at the top of the screen to open it, then choose the section named below. There is no hamburger icon. See [Finding the STOQ menu](https://help.stoqapp.com/general/getting-started-with-stoq/#finding-the-stoq-menu). 1. **Open the offer you want to copy** 1. In the left menu bar of the STOQ app, click **Preorders**, then the **Offers** tab. 2. Click the offer's name to open its **Overview** tab.

See [Rename a preorder offer](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/rename-preorder-offer/). ## FAQ ### Can I duplicate an offer that's currently live? Yes. The original is untouched and keeps running. The copy is always created with the status **Off**, whatever the original's status. ### Why did my duplicate lose its start and end dates? That's intentional. Duplicating always clears the schedule dates and turns off **Schedule offer**, so a copy can't go live on an old schedule. Set new dates in the editor's **Status** section. See [Schedule when an offer runs](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/preorder-offer-status-and-schedule/). ### Why does the copy have no products? So it can't start selling before you've checked it. Add the products you want, which are often different from the original's anyway. ### Does duplicating affect customers or existing orders? No. The copy is disabled with no products, so it has no storefront effect at all until you add products and turn it on. ## Related guides - [Add products to an offer](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/add-products-to-an-offer/): Attach products to your new copy. - [Rename a preorder offer](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/rename-preorder-offer/): Give the copy a clearer name. - [Turn preorder offers on or off](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/turn-preorder-offers-on-or-off/): Enable the copy when it's ready. - [Find and view your offers](https://help.stoqapp.com/preorders/manage-preorder-offers/): Search and filter the Offers list.
