Product Tags

We realize that keeping track of hundreds, or even thousands, of Products in your inventory, can be a lot of work. So we've made it easier with Product Tags.

Product tags are an attribute that can be assigned to an individual or multiple Product SKUs. In contrast to Product Categories, more than one tag can be applied to an individual SKU at a time. This allows you to take further action on SKUs with these tags in ShippingEasy, such as filtering to view products with a specific tag in Inventory, or using the tags in conjunction with Shipping Rules. 

You can see which Product Tags (if any) are set for a specific SKU, by going to the PRODUCT DETAILS page for that SKU. Product Tags are listed on the right-hand side:

Add Product Tags to Individual Product SKUs

    • Pressing the tab key will add your new Tag and allow you to add another.

  5. Click the Save Product button.

That is it - Product Tag(s) have now been saved to your product!

Add Product Tags to Multiple Product SKUs via CSV File

  1. Create a CSV file that includes at least two columns: SKUs and Tags. We will update the existing product catalog with the Product Tags by matching the SKU. Learn more about available data fields or [download an example CSV file.]

    Specify the tag(s) for each SKU in the Tags column. Each SKU can have up to 10 tags. For products that have more than one Product Tag, separate the tags with a '|'  character. For example, if the tags for a SKU are "top-seller" and "non-fragile" use:

    • top-seller|non-fragile

    Tags from CSV Files

    The tags in the Tags column in the CSV file will override the existing tags on the SKU. Make sure that all tags you want to remain on the SKUs are present in the CSV file for each SKU.

  2. Go to PRODUCTS and select CATALOG from the drop-down.
