Tags in Shopify are powerful — they drive smart collections, customer segmentation, discount rules, and third-party app logic. But adding or removing a tag from hundreds of products is a click-heavy process that the default admin makes unnecessarily painful.
The default approach
Shopify's bulk editor lets you select multiple products and edit fields — but tags require you to type them individually for each row. There's no "add this tag to all selected products" button. You end up either doing it one by one or exporting to CSV and re-importing.
