How to Add or Delete Tags on Shopify: A Comprehensive Guide

Tags are a powerful tool in Shopify that allows you to organize your store efficiently. While tags are hidden from customers, they offer you and your staff an easy way to categorize and manage inventory, customer groups, blog posts, and orders.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to add or delete tags on Shopify, which will help you streamline your workflow, enhance searchability, and create targeted marketing campaigns.

How to Add Tags on Shopify

Tags can be added to several sections in Shopify, including products, customers, transfers, blog posts, orders, and draft orders. Adding tags helps you streamline your workflow by grouping similar items together for easier management.

Here is how to add a tag:

Step 1: Open The Product List

From your Shopify admin, go to Products

Step 2: Select the Section Where You Want to Add Tags

Depending on the item you want to tag, navigate to one of the following:

• Products
• Customers
• Orders
• Transfers
• Blog Posts
• Draft Orders

In this guide, I’ll take Products as an example.

Step 3: Open the Item's Details Page

Click on the product, order, customer, or blog post that you want to tag.

Step 4: Add Tag

Scroll down to find the Tags section on the details page.

Scroll down to find the Tags section on the details page and type in the name of the tag you want to add, or select it from the list of existing tags. 

If you enter a new tag name, it will be automatically created for you to use again in the future.

For example, if you're organizing products for a seasonal sale, you can create a tag like "Summer Sale."

Step 5: Save Your Changes

Click Save at the top right corner of the page to apply the tag.

How to Delete/Remove Tags on Shopify

Step 1: Go to the Section Containing the Tags

Navigate to the section where the tag is located (Products, Customers, Orders, etc.).

Step 2: Select the Item from Which You Want to Remove the Tag

Open the details page of the product, customer, order, or blog post where you added the tag before.

Step 3: Scroll down to find the Tags section on the details page.

Locate the Tags field on the item’s details page.

Step 4: Remove the Tag

To remove a tag, click the small x next to the tag you want to delete. 

You can also click on the tag field, click View all, uncheck the tags on the list that you want to remove, and then click Save.

The tag will be removed from that specific item but will still remain on your store's tag list.

Step 5: Click Save

Don’t forget to click Save to finalize the removal of the tag.
