Use Product Tags

Tags are color-coded indicators often used to visually mark orders that have unique needs or circumstances. If you have many orders, tags can help draw your attention to orders that need immediate attention or special consideration. You can add tags manually to orders, or you can add them to product records so any order that imports with that product will automatically include that tag. Tags can also be used to filter orders and act as criteria for Automation Rules.

Some common uses for tags might be to identify orders as:

  • Fragile

  • High Priority

  • Backordered

  • Potential fraud

  • Requiring Insurance

To use the Product Catalog, which includes the Tags feature, your account must be on the E-Commerce plan or one of the Stamps.com Legacy plans.

Create Tags

There is no limit to how many tags you can create in your account.

Assign Tags to Products

You can assign tags manually to orders at any time. But you can also assign tags to product records so that any order that includes the tagged product will also include the tag. The process for adding a tag to an order is the same as adding a tag to a product.

To assign a tag to a product:

  1. Go to the PRODUCTS tab and select a product to open the Product details.

    PRODUCTS grid. Shows a Product Selected

  2. Select a tag from the Tags drop-down menu.

    Product Details. Tags menu opened and Hat tag selected

    For this example, we included the tags for Fragile, the Big Man online Store, and International orders.

The tags will be displayed in the Tags column in the PRODUCTS grid and any order that imports with the product will include the tag (which you can see in the Tags column in the ORDERS grid).
