Overview

You can copy over rules between different Shopify stores without having to create them manually. You can export rules from one store as a ZIP file and then import that file into another store. This saves time, ensures consistency, and makes it easier to manage similar rules across multiple stores. You can also create a backup of your rules in case you need to restore them later.
