Automatically adding tags to orders?

Shopify Discussion
1

Hello. I have a shop that runs limited-time collections for holidays (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc.) and I would like an easy way to sort orders that contain holiday items.

I see there is a tags category in the orders section of Shopify. Is there a way to automatically apply tags to an order that contains holiday items?

Thank you.

Hi @SpectrumBakes ,

Adding tag in orders automatically can only possible with subscribing webhook.

To achieve this you have to make custom app or any paid app.

Hi, @SpectrumBakes
Use Shopify Flow (Free, No Extra Costs) Shopify Flow is a free automation tool in the Shopify App Store, which is ideal for basic to moderate tagging needs. You just need to first tag all your holiday products (e.g., “Christmas2026” or “ValentineGift”) in the product settings. Then follow these steps:

  1. Install the Shopify Flow app from the Shopify App Store and open it in your Shopify admin.
  2. Click “Create workflow” and select the trigger “Order created” — this ensures the automation starts as soon as a customer places an order.
  3. Add a condition to filter orders with holiday products. Since there’s no direct “product tag” condition, you can use a workaround: choose “Line item → Product title includes” and enter a keyword unique to your holiday items (like “Christmas Ornament” or “Valentine Box”). If you prefer to base it on product tags, you can also use a “Loop” action to check each line item’s tags.
  4. Add an action. Select “Add order tag” and input your desired order tag (such as “ChristmasOrder” or “Valentine2026”).
  5. Turn on the workflow. From then on, any order with the specified holiday products will be automatically tagged.
