Can I duplicate an existing discount to create a new one?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm looking to replicate a successful discount campaign I ran previously. I want to know if I can easily duplicate an existing discount in my Shopify store without manually recreating all the settings. This would save me significant time and ensure I maintain the exact same parameters from my original high-performing promotion. What are the best practices and potential limitations when attempting to copy or clone an existing discount?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Most e-commerce platforms like Shopify allow direct duplication of existing discounts. You can typically clone a discount by selecting the original and using a 'Duplicate' or 'Copy' function, which replicates all settings while allowing you to modify specific details.

Adjust date ranges, discount percentages, or targeting to fit current campaign objectives.

Potential Limitations to Consider
