# Copying an Order to Create a New Order

Aside from [https://ultracart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ucdoc/pages/1377811/Clone+Order+via+Back+End+Order+Entry?src=search](/guides/ultracart-documentation/tutorials/order-management-tutorials/clone-order-via-back-end-order-entry) (which is the recommended method in most cases), there are two options for creating a copy of an order, in the “Tools” section of possible actions, from the review order page:

1.  Copy Order
    
2.  Copy Order to Clipboard

The Copy Order tool copies the order “as is” including any populated custom fields, shipping method selections, etc.

IF you want to create a new order using the details a a previous order, but not duplicate everything from the previous order, clone the order instead
