Adding tags in bulk

Hello.

Is there any way to add a bunch of tags in bulk to products? Like this:

Pase this in: ‘‘Example, example 1, example 2, example 3’’ etc etc and it becomes a tag each, when I do this, it just makes it all in one tag, instead of like several. I hope you understand my question.

Thanks.

Paste all tags separated by comma will not work while you are in product editor.
If you want to paste it for bulk tags, you need to use CSV import

Thanks for the reply can you please tell me how?

The comma-paste issue is a UI quirk: Shopify’s tag editor uses Enter or Tab as separators, not comma. So “Example, example 1, example 2” parses as one tag.

Two ways forward:

  1. In the product editor: type each tag and hit Enter (or Tab) between them.

  2. For bulk via CSV: export your products, edit the Tags column (comma-separated values inside the cell work for CSV), save as UTF-8 CSV, then import with “Overwrite products with the same handle” so only the rows you include get touched.

A third option, if you’d rather skip CSV entirely: in a Shopify-native PIM like Peak PIM, tags sit as a column you can paste straight into without round-tripping a file.
