Thorough explanation of Product Type, Vendor, and TAG for SHOPIFY product registration!

It is a good product registration that basic information such as company information and delivery settings is completed. This time, I will explain in detail about "Product Type", "VENDOR", and "TAG", a SHOPIFY unique label function that tends to be troubled when registering product.

Product Type, Vendor, Tag

Product type (product type), Vendor (vendor), and TAG (tag) are labels that can be used to organize products. Adding this information for each product will help you create a collection page and speed up product sorting (sorting) on ​​the collection page.

Product Type

It is a product category. (Synonymous with the category in Rakuten Ichiba) It can be useful for organizing products and creating a collection page (category page). Only one Product Type can be set for each product. As for the PRODUCT TYPE input example, in the case of apparel, there are product categories such as shirts, bottoms, and accessories. PRODUCT TYPE can be used to specify conditions on the collection page or in -product narrow down on the management screen.

Vendor

Enter the manufacturer or wholesaler that manufactures the product. Vendor input examples include manufacturers, manufacturers and brand names. It can be used to specify conditions on the collection page and narrow down the product on the management screen. Like Product Type, only one Vendor can be set.

Tag

Tags are generally more specific than Product Type, and can be used to add keywords that can be searched to products. It will be the most flexible label among the three. Unlike other labels, you can set multiple TAGs for one product. As for the input example of TAG, there are colored colors, long -sleeved and short sleeves, etc., but it can also be used for categories such as the season and special features, regardless of the product. Depending on the condition specification of the collection page and the theme used, it can be used for product sorting (sorting) on ​​the collection page.

Setting method

After logging in to the management screen, click "Products" and click the "Add Product" button.

Product Type, TAG distribution example

Vendor is a good point, but the point is how to use Product Type and Tag properly. This time, we will introduce how to sort in the case of a store that handles the following apparel as an example.

① Register the large category in Product Type and register the small category in Tag.

・ When creating a collection page of a large category (eg, tops), the display conditions"Product Type is a tops product"Specify. ・ When creating a collection page of a small category (for example, denim pants), the display conditions"TAG is a denim pants product"Specify.

② Register all small categories with Product Type

・ When creating a collection page of a large category (eg, tops), the display conditions"Product Type is a cut -and -sew product / shirt product / knit product"Specify all the lower categories. ・ When creating a collection page of a small category (for example, denim pants), the display conditions"Product Type is a denim pants product"Specify. In addition to the method introduced here, let's sort in a way that is easy to manage.

Convenient app for collective registration, deletion, and replacement of TAG

Although I set it up in various ways, I think that there are times when I want to add this tag to multiple products! In such a case, this app is convenient. Power Tools --Bulk Edit Tags In order to add or delete a normal tag at once, it is necessary to export the CSV to fix the product information and import it again. If you use this app, you can easily add, delete, and replace one or more tags from all products for free. Since it is possible to change the batch later, you will not be nervous when registering the product.
