I believe like many store owners we have many tags for our products. But when using the product filter by Search and Discovery, it shows all the tags.

I am using Dawn theme.

Is it possible to hide certain tags and show only a few? Thanks in advance.

Hello @evaca

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Yes, it is possible to show only some tags in Filter with code customization according to theme code.

Thanks

I am using Dawn 9.0, can you please let me know how?

The code needs to be altered in order to work as per the need, the complete code can’t be shared here as it needs code customization.
