How to Add or Delete Tags on Shopify
In this post, you will learn how to add or delete tags on Shopify. But first, why bother learning it?
The filtering systems which help users navigate items quickly and efficiently is a vital requirement for e-commerce stores that have a lot of products and variations of a particular product type. And, the filtering systems on Shopify are often based on product tags.
Tags are searchable keywords involved in your products. You can use tags that save you a lot of time to label products, transfers, orders, draft orders, customers, and blog posts based on type, vendor, price, weight, or any fields. In the wake of adding tags, you can help your customers search and filter your product through your online store search. In addition, tags also make it easier for you to generate automated collections, which help you stay well-organized when working in Shopify.

Furthermore, tags on Shopify can also be used to help you bulk customize your products. For instance, if you add clothes tag to your clothes items (such as the word T-shirt), then you can create a product filter in the All Products list to show only products tagged with the word T-shirt. By this way, you can choose all those products and bulk hide them whenever you want according to your personal requirements.
