Add Tags to Shopify Products

Add, remove, or replace product tags in bulk using the dedicated tagsCommand. Use ADD to append new tags without overwriting existing ones.

Steps:

1. Export products

In DataEase, create a New Export → Products. Include at minimum: id, handle, tags (optionally title). Filter to the products you need.

2. Choose the operation

• ADD — append the listed tags to existing tags (recommended for adding).
• REMOVE — delete only the listed tags.
• REPLACE — overwrite all existing tags with exactly the listed tags.
• IGNORE — skip tag changes for that row.

3. Edit the file

• Set command = UPDATE (product level).
• Set tagsCommand to one of the values above (use ADD to add).
• In tags, provide a comma-separated list (e.g., “summer, new, tshirt”). Keep column names exactly as exported.

4. Import & validate

Create a New Import in DataEase, upload the file, map columns, and run Validation. Open the validation file and review the “Validation Status” column; fix any issues.

5. Run the import

Tips

• Spacing and case: extra spaces are trimmed; tags are compared case-insensitively by Shopify.
• To clear everything, set tagsCommand = REPLACE (tags column can be empty in that case).
