Adding Product Tags

Use tags to organise and filter your products for better management

Written by Hayden Zammit Meaney

Adding Product Tags

Tags provide flexible organisation beyond categories. While a product belongs to one category, it can have multiple tags — making it easy to filter, search, and group products in different ways.

Categories vs. Tags

Understanding the difference:

Categories

Tags

One per product

Multiple per product

Broad groupings

Specific attributes

Customer-facing

Often internal

Hierarchical

Flat

Example:

  • Category: "Tours"

  • Tags: "whale-watching", "family-friendly", "half-day", "departures-cairns"

Why use tags?

Tags help you:

Filter products — find all "family-friendly" offerings quickly

Create collections — group products for marketing campaigns

Track attributes — identify "wheelchair-accessible" products

Manage operations — tag by guide, vehicle, or equipment needed

Seasonal organisation — mark "winter-only" or "summer-special"

How to add tags

Adding tags to a product

Go to Products from the main menu

Click on the product you want to tag

Click Edit to enter edit mode

Find the Tags field

Type a tag and press Enter to add it

Repeat for additional tags

Click Save

Creating new tags

Tags are created as you type:

In the tags field, type your new tag

Press Enter to add it

The tag is now available for other products too

Removing tags

To remove a tag from a product:

Edit the product

Find the tag in the Tags field

Click the X on the tag to remove it

Save your changes

Tag naming conventions

Keep tags consistent

Use a standard format:

All lowercase: "family-friendly" not "Family-Friendly"

Use hyphens for spaces: "half-day" not "half day"

Be specific: "departs-port-douglas" not "port douglas"

Avoid duplicates

Watch out for similar tags:

  • Don't use both "family" and "family-friendly"

  • Avoid "accessible" and "wheelchair-accessible" unless meaningful

  • Check existing tags before creating new ones

Use clear naming

Tags should be self-explanatory:

  • ✅ "includes-lunch"

  • ✅ "morning-departure"

  • ✅ "min-2-people"

  • ❌ "type-a"

  • ❌ "promo1"

Document your tags

Consider maintaining a list of your standard tags:

This ensures consistency across your team.
