How to set product tags in PrestaShop 1.5

Creating tags for your products in PrestaShop 1.5 is useful in helping your customers to find the right products. The tags are essentially keywords. These keywords can be used to associate them to specific products for easier searching. For example, if you sell ipods you will want to have them associated with ‘mp3 player’ or ‘music player’ or any other useful keywords.

You want to associate your products to tags as soon as you create them so they can be found right away. Follow along below as our instructions take you through setting up tags for your products in PrestaShop 1.5.

  4. This leads you to the screen to enter the tag data. You are required to give it a Name and select a Language.
