Purpose:
To explain how product tags work.
Solution:
Tags are one-word descriptors that act as keywords. They can be assigned to products by registered customers who are currently logged in. Tags help your customers organize and remember the products they have seen, offer quick navigation options in your store, and aid in the process of search engine optimization. Each product has an Add Your Tags field at the bottom of the page. Tags will be viewable by everyone browsing the product, and will display in a block on the product info page. The font size of a tag (or how large it appears within the block) is affected by the number of times the tag has been added by customers or by changing the Base Popularity field in Admin Panel.
When a customer enters a word and clicks Add Tags, that tag will be sent to the Pending Tags queue. If they are not logged in, they will first be prompted to do so, or create an account, before the tag will be submitted to the queue. If they add multiple words, each word will be separated as a separate entry in the queue, unless the separate words are surrounded by single quotes, in which case they will be grouped as one tag.
If you wish, you can allow customers to be alerted of new tags via RSS feeds.
Tags must first be approved by the store administrator before they appear on the storefront. Once a tag has been approved, it can be used for other products and does not need to be approved again.
