See [finding a rule ID](#finding-a-rule-id) below. Go to **Shipping Rates** and click **Add Rule**. Use the **Clone** action on the new rule page and enter the ID of the rule you want to copy. 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](/cloning-full-setup-from-one-store-to-another). ## Related Move a whole configuration to another store. Rule fields, priority, and exclusivity. The multi-band rates that benefit most from cloning. Keeping a growing rule set manageable.
