Product Tags Overview

Product tags are keywords that are used to describe the product and organize your inventory. Doing so makes it easier to categorize items, run a successful merchandising strategy, and surface products that match what customers are searching for at the store.

For example, the product tag labeled “Cigarette” can be used for all kinds of cigarettes. But the product tag “Cigarette Carton” gives a more precise meaning to it and can be used for cigarettes sold in carton packaging. Similarly, the tag labeled “Cigarette Pack” can be used for cigarettes sold in individual packs. 

This article focuses on creating a new product tag, editing, and deleting the existing product tag in Control Center.
