It's essential for any Shopify store owner to manage their Shopify products effectively. This involves creating collections and sorting items into these collections, as well as tagging products and orders.

Before we start, let's ask: what are Shopify tags?

Shopify tags are a productivity tool that helps you to organize and categorize your shop by labeling different products, orders, and customers for easy filtering and bulk management.

Read on to find out how this is done and the benefits of order tagging.

Tagging Orders Automatically Using an App

Natively, Shopify only supports manual order tagging. This is very time-consuming, so adding an app to automate the process in real time is the best way to go.

Fortunately, there are many great Shopify apps to automate and streamline your order tagging. Top-rated apps include Auto Tags, MESA, TagRobot, and SC Order Tagger, which all work in a similar way.

After installing SC Order Tagger, for example, you can view the default pre-configured workflows and apply them to the order process without needing to set anything up.

Benefits of Automatic Tagging in Shopify

Automatic tagging brings some important benefits to your shop's workflow. You can set up automatic tagging to tag:

  • Orders based on shipping method to streamline fulfillment and delivery
  • Orders placed by first-time customers to add a special gift or note
  • Large orders for quick notification and processing
  • Potentially high-risk orders
  • Orders based on the sales channel for easy metrics

Use Order Tags to Boost Conversions

Order tags save you time and effort, but they can also lead to increased sales down the line. A more streamlined fulfillment process will ensure customers receive their orders on time.

Dynamic tags also allow you to gather key customer data, which you can use to improve engagement and marketing strategies. This raises customer satisfaction, which will often lead to customers returning in the future.
