Tags are flat, flexible labels you attach to products for cross-cutting organization. Unlike categories (which are hierarchical) or collections (which can be rule-based), tags are simple keywords that help you group products across your catalog. Common uses for tags include seasonal labels (“Summer 2026”), marketing campaigns (“Flash Sale”), product attributes (“Eco-Friendly”), or storefront filters (“New Arrival”, “Best Seller”).Documentation Index
