Duplicating a Calculator

Duplicating a Calculator

Overview

Cloning creates an exact copy of an existing calculator. This is useful when you want to reuse a configuration as a starting point for a new product or variation without building from scratch. You clone a calculator from the Appify CPO → Calculators page.

Steps

  1. Go to Appify CPO → Calculators.
  2. Find the calculator you want to duplicate.
  3. Click the clone button (duplicate icon) on that calculator's row.
  4. A new calculator is created with the name "Original Name (Copy)".
  5. Click on the cloned calculator to open it and make any changes.

Details

Detail Description
What's copied All options, pricing formulas, styling, conditional rules, and settings.
What's not copied Product assignments — the clone starts unassigned so it does not appear on your storefront until you assign it to products.
Naming The cloned calculator gets "(Copy)" appended to the original name. You can rename it in the editor.

Examples

  • Seasonal variant — Clone your standard custom-framing calculator and adjust the pricing formula for a holiday promotion, without touching the original.
  • Multi-product reuse — Clone a calculator that works well for one product and reassign the copy to a different product with minor tweaks.
