Copy an Event

Duplicate an event to make a similar service quickly, then give the copy its own schedule if it needs one

Duplicate Event copies every setting of an event to a new event. Use it when you offer a similar service, such as the same class at another location, or a 90-minute version of a 60-minute massage.

The copy counts toward your plan's limit of active events. On the Free plan you can have one active event, so you cannot copy it. See Plans and pricing.

Copy an event

  1. On the Dashboard, open the event you want to copy.
  2. On the General tab, scroll to the Administration section at the bottom.
  3. Click Duplicate Event.
  4. Shopify's product picker opens. Choose the product (and options) for the new event.
  5. In the Duplicate Event window, change the Event name if you like.
  6. Click Duplicate.

The new event opens. Change anything that is different, then click Save.

If Duplicate Event is grayed out, you have reached your plan's limit of active events. Turn off an event you no longer use, or upgrade.

Give the copy its own schedule

The copy uses the same availability as the original. This is right if the same person or room does both services: a booking for one blocks the same time on the other.

If the copy needs a different schedule:

  1. Click Availabilities in the app menu.
  2. Open the schedule to copy, and click Duplicate at the top of the page. Type a First Name and Last Name for the new schedule (for example, "Downtown" and "Studio"), then click Duplicate.
  3. Change the hours of the new schedule. Click Save changes.
  4. Open the new event and click the Availability tab.
  5. Under Assign Availability, add the new schedule and remove the old one.

See Set your weekly hours.
