How can I rename the “product type” in filter. For instance, I want to rename it as material. How would I do this? Thank you.
Hello,
Well product type is an attribute you can give when you put products into Shopify database. So given your theme, that might be misunderstood as a “tag”, but it’s not. Product type is a separate attribute you can give to any product (and so variants).
Have fun with Shopify,

I’d advise you to not use product type for a material attribute.
Especially if this is just to have collection filtering.
This is like trying to store the date in the product price you could do that but there will be problems.
Try to keep to the intent of a products characteristic in a businesses product data.
Use either a variant option named “material” , or a metafield definition
This will vary by theme but you may be able to use the themes translations, go to edit language in the themes menu and search in the language editor for “product type”.
Yes like Paul said, a metafield might be more useful, depending use case,
Have fun with Shopify,
