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
