Can I copy a shop?
Yes you can! You can refer to the steps here.
Can I change the shop type/client?
There's no way to change the shop type or the client account a shop is associated with. The best practice is to start by creating a presentation, then copy the presentation to a new shop. The presentation acts as a template to go back to if you make the wrong shop type or create a shop under the wrong account.
How many times can I copy a form to a shop?
You can copy a form as many times as you need. Using presentations to create templates of shop products can save time for your entire team!
Can I copy a form to an existing shop?
The copy feature only works for new shops/projects; you'll need to add products directly to existing shops/projects.
I copied a form to a Pop-Up Shop. Why are all the products $0?
Pop-Up Shops add a retail price to each product. This means you can charge your shoppers one price and your end client another. The retail price automatically defaults to $0 since there are no retail values to copy from the presentation. Make sure you update each product's retail price to match the value you need.
