Using the app, you can create a duplicate collection from any existing manual/smart collection in your store in a few seconds and edit it as per your needs.

There is no need to create a new collection and load your data or use any CSV file format to create a duplication.

Just a simple button to get the work done.

Additionally, you can:

  • Delete the original collection while creating the duplicate.
  • Get the status of each created collection.
