Bulk Edit Tags

Many Shopify entities support tags. Tags help you organize, group, and filter items in your store, such as products, orders, and customers.

DataEase makes it easy to manage tags across different parts of your store. Whether you’re importing or exporting data, the app uses the same logic for all supported entities.


✅ Supported Entities

Tags are supported in the following Shopify entities:

  • Products
  • Customers
  • Draft Orders
  • Orders
  • Articles
  • Menus

📤 Exporting Tags

When you export data, tags are included in a single column. Each tag is separated by a comma: summer, featured, bestseller

Make sure your export file keeps this format to avoid issues during re-import.


📥 Importing Tags

To import or update tags, include a column named tags in your import file. Enter tags separated by commas. For example: holiday, new, top

Also, add a tagsCommand column to define what should happen to the tags in each row.


⚙️ Available Commands

You can control how tags are updated using these commands:

🔁 MERGE (default)

Adds the tags from your file to the existing ones. Only new tags will be added; existing ones stay untouched.

Example:
Existing tags: sale, featured
File tags: new, sale
Result: sale, featured, new


🗑️ DELETE

Removes the tags listed in your file from the current tags.

Example:
Existing tags: sale, featured, summer
File tags: featured
Result: sale, summer


🔄 REPLACE

Replaces all current tags with the tags listed in your file.
If the file field is empty, all tags will be removed.

Example:
File tags: bestseller
Result: bestseller (previous tags are cleared)


🚫 IGNORE

Leaves the tags unchanged.
Use this to skip changes for specific rows.


🧪 Tips and Best Practices

  • Always format tag columns as Plain Text in Excel or Google Sheets.
    If you use number or date formatting, Excel may auto-convert tags like “2024” to a date (e.g. “4/20/24”).
  • Avoid trailing spaces after commas:
    tag1,tag2
    tag1, tag2
