Clone a store including variant Ids

Shopify Plus
1

Hi, i’ve seen a few plugins for cloning stores, but does anyone know if any of them can clone the products so that when they are cloned from say a production store to a sandbox store that all the products cloned have exactly the same variant IDs? The problem is I need these as the legacy backend service we use relies on the variant ID :disappointed_face:

thank you!!!

Hi @kev_pet , welcome to Shopify forum! :slightly_smiling_face:

I believe you cant modify the variant ID since its auto-generated :disappointed_face:

However you can try saving the variantID to the meta fields.
But, is there a way for the backend service you are using to use other fields instead of variant ID?
