Creating and using tags in Shopify

你can add tags to group, search, filter, and make bulk changes to items in the following sections:

Tags aren't displayed to customers, but you can use tags to categorize products on your online store and organize search results for customers.

For example, at the end of the summer season, you can search for your products with the 'Summer' tag in yourProductspage, and use abulk actiontohidethem from your sales channels.

Tag types

你can create a custom set of tags for each section in Shopify where tags are used. When you create a tag in a particular section, it isn't copied to the other sections where tags are used. For example, you can organize orders by tags likepackedortest, but use tags liketax exemptorwholesaleto describe some of your customers. Each type of tag corresponds to the section it can organize:

Types of tags
Type Description
Product Add and remove tags on a specific product's details page. Filter products by tag on theProductspage and theInventorypage. Use product tags as selection criteria when you're building an automatic collection or as filters when you're creating a menu. When a customer searches for a term that matches a product tag, the tagged products appear in search results but the tags aren't displayed to the customer.
Transfer Add and remove tags on a specific transfer's details page. Filter transfers by tag on theTransferspage.
Customer Add and remove tags on a specific customer's details page. Create a customer segment on theCustomerspage to filter customers with the same tag.
Blog post Add and remove tags on a specific blog post's details page. Filter blog posts by tag on theBlog postspage.
Order Add and remove tags on a specific order's details page. Filter orders by tag on theOrderspage.
Draft order Add and remove tags on a specific draft order's details page. When you create an order from a draft order, the draft order tags are carried over and added as order tags.
