Manage Product Tags in Magento

Posted on February 22nd, 2016

If you are running an eCommerce store, you already know the importance of product tags. But if you don’t know, you can use product tags to allow users to filter products by specific groups. For example, If you are selling mobile phones in your store, you can sort the mobile by colors, the number of cameras, types of screens and much more.
