What are product tags?

A tag is like a label or a keyword that describes the product that it is added to. When a customer clicks on a product tag, any products that you have added the tag to will be displayed.

A product can have more than one tag. Tags are nonhierarchical but can be grouped together using tag groups.

How are tags different from categories?

Tags have a flat structure and are meant for labelling products across categories while categories have nested sub-categories.

For example, you could organise a product under a parent category of 'Shoes' with sub-categories of 'Casual', 'Dress' and 'Sport' but any of the products in any of the categories could have a tag added like 'New season' or 'Clearence'.
