Enable sales channel mapping and pricing when cloning a sales channel group
Tick the clone option so the new sales channel group keeps its sales channel mapping and pricing, and know how cloned SKU prices behave.
When cloning a sales channel group, tick the option in the last column to clone the sales channel mapping and pricing.
If the box is left unticked, the cloned group does not carry over its sales channel mapping and pricing.
When a SKU is cloned, its prices do not stay connected to the originals. The clone's default price is a copy of the source default's IMMEDIATE stored numbers with the referral stripped (use_referred_price=false, referred_price_id=null). If the source default was in linked mode - typical for subscribed SKUs, whose stored raw price is 0 - the clone's default price is 0 even though the original displayed the publisher's live price. For sales-channel prices, rows that actually exist and are in custom mode are copied to the clone (each copy is re-pointed at the clone's new default and stays custom). A channel price that uses a formula is also copied, keeping its formula and pointing at the clone's new default. Channel prices that were simply linked to the default are NOT copied at all, so on the clone those price types fall back to the new default price. Net effect a client sees: after duplicating a SKU, some channel prices 'reset' and a cloned subscribed/linked SKU can quote at zero. This is by design (clones are independent), not data loss. Guidance: after cloning, review the clone's default price first, then any channel prices that were customized on the original; there is no way to make a clone keep following the original's prices.
