Cloning copies the conditions and rates from an existing rule into a new one, so you can build a variant of a rule you already trust without rebuilding it by hand.

​
How to clone

1

Find the ID of the rule you want to copy

Every rule has a numeric ID. See finding a rule ID below.
2

Start a new rule

Go to Shipping Rates and click Add Rule.
3

Open the clone dialog

Use the Clone action on the new rule page and enter the ID of the rule you want to copy.
4

Adjust and save

The form is populated with the source rule’s conditions and rates. Change what you need, then set a name and a priority of its own and save.
The clone arrives with the source rule’s values, but priority must be unique — no two rules can share one. Give the clone its own priority before saving, or it won’t save.

Finding a rule ID

The rule ID is not shown on the rules list by default. Instead it’s seen in the browser address bar. Image

What gets copied

Cloning brings across the parts of a rule that are laborious to recreate — its conditions and the rates attached to each zone. You still set the new rule’s own identity: its name, its priority, and its status.
To copy an entire setup between two stores, use Cloning Full Setup from One Store to Another.
