Save time, reduce risk, and ship tailored pricing faster with Salable's cloning features
Shipping a SaaS product today isn't just about building features. It's about how you package, price, and present those features, and how quickly you can adjust based on customer feedback, market shifts, or experiments. That's why cloning products and plans isn't just a convenience feature. It's a growth enabler.
Launching a new pricing tier? Tailoring a plan for a key customer? Rolling out a regional version of your app? Cloning lets you duplicate and refine your products or plans in seconds—no rebuilding, no rework.
In this blog, we'll break down why cloning matters and how it works in Salable.
Why cloning plans and products matter
1️⃣ You move faster
Without cloning, you (or your dev team) have to manually re-enter every pricing detail, every feature flag, and every billing config. That's tedious and error-prone. With cloning, you start from a known-good setup and tweak only what's needed.
Example:
You've got a "Pro" plan with usage-based pricing and a bundle of features. You want to launch a "Pro for Startups" version with a discount and fewer features. Cloning lets you spin up a variant in seconds without rebuilding anything from scratch.
2️⃣ You reduce risk
When you're launching something new, you want to build on what already works. Cloning gives you a reliable foundation: same price logic, same entitlements, and lowers the risk of misconfiguring billing or features.
You can also grandfather customers on older plans while offering updated pricing to new ones without messy migrations.
3️⃣ You serve customers better
Not every customer fits neatly into a one-size-fits-all plan. With cloning, you can build bespoke offers based on existing plans, whether it's for enterprise clients, partner integrations, or high-retention segments.
This is especially powerful when combined with Salable's feature management and API-first checkout flows: your sales or CS team can offer custom plans without looping in engineering.
What Salable offers: flexible cloning built in
Salable makes cloning plans and products as simple as one click. No scripts, no copy-pasting across tabs, no risk of missing a config.
Here's what you can do with Salable:
You can take any existing plan and duplicate it with:
- The same pricing structure
- The same features
- The same capabilities and entitlements
From there, you can adjust what matters: change the price, add or remove features, rename the plan, or assign it to a different product—all without affecting the original.
You can also update a customer's subscription to use the new plan via the Salable API, or generate a checkout link for new users right away.
Need a variant of a product with a slightly different plan lineup, feature set, or pricing model? Use the product cloning flow. Salable copies the full structure, including:
This is especially useful when you're:
- Launching region-specific versions of your product
- Running controlled rollouts of new pricing
- Managing end-of-life for a particular feature
- Switching integrations, like payment providers, on a product level
Salable's UI lets business and growth teams do this themselves, without asking engineers to manually rewire your billing.
Use cases for SaaS builders
1️⃣ Test new pricing
Clone an existing plan, tweak the price, and roll it out to a subset of customers. This method is perfect for A/B testing pricing elasticity without affecting your base plans.
2️⃣ Create custom offers
Sales or success teams can clone a plan, add a specific feature, and update the price—there is no need to loop in developers or rebuild logic. This is great for winning enterprise deals or retaining high-risk customers.
3️⃣ Grandfather legacy customers
Want to update your pricing but keep current customers on their existing plan? Clone the plan, publish the new one, and mark the original as legacy. Clean and safe.
4️⃣ Regional variants
Create clones of your product with local pricing, currencies, or compliance differences. This keeps your original structure intact while allowing growth in new markets.
5️⃣ Deprecating features
When a feature reaches end of life, clone the product, remove the feature, and roll it out going forward, without affecting existing customers.
Cloning isn't a shortcut. It's how you scale with control.
When you're running experiments, rolling out tailored offers, or evolving your pricing model, speed matters, but so does precision.
Salable gives you both. You can clone any plan or product, adjust what you need, and launch confidently without touching backend logic. There will be no engineering bottlenecks, no config errors, and no surprises.
