Duplicate product (includes variants)
Products list → click product → Duplicate → new copy with all variants. Edit the new product's options to change (Blue instead of Red).

Export product CSV → change Handle + Title → import. New product created with same variants.
Templates via metafields
Store 'variant template' as metafield reference. When creating new product, pull the template. Manual but scriptable.

CSV workflow — export source product, edit Handle, import as new product.
How to reuse variant setup across products?
Template product + duplicate + edit. Or CSV clone. Or Matrixify app for automation.
