Problem: Products imported via an app lack color/size tags, so filtering apps can’t filter by these attributes. Manual tagging is undone when the importer updates products.
Clarifications: The import app does not include a feature to add tags during import (per the OP). Another participant asked about this capability; the OP confirmed it’s not available.
Proposed solution: Install an auto-tagging app that can tag products based on variant options (e.g., size, color). “Auto Tags” (Tag Automation) was recommended, with a corrected link shared. Its documentation covers tagging from variant options.
Status: The OP plans to explore the Shopify App Store for this or similar apps and try them. No confirmation yet that the approach works with their importer or that tags persist.
Open questions: Can the importer be configured to avoid overwriting tags, or can an auto-tag app reliably reapply tags after each sync? Discussion remains open without a confirmed resolution.
