Tags and brands
Beyond categories, NOTIWOO syncs two other product taxonomies with WooCommerce:
- Tags — free-form keywords describing a product. A product can have several.
- Brands — the maker or label of the product. Usually one per product.
Both screens live under Catalog → Inventory and share the same interface.
The list
Each row shows:
- Name
- Slug
- Description
- Number of products assigned
- Edit and delete actions
A search box on top lets you find a tag or brand quickly in large catalogs.
Create or edit
The form asks for:
- Name (required)
- Slug (auto-generated from the name)
- Description (optional)
When you delete, associated products lose that tag or brand but are not deleted themselves.
When to use tags vs. categories?
| Use a category when… | Use a tag when… |
|---|---|
| the group is structural (a product belongs to exactly one) | the attribute is descriptive and a product can have several |
| it's part of the store's main navigation | it's used for campaigns or quick searches |
| example: Pizzas, Drinks, Desserts | example: spicy, gluten-free, new |
Brands, on the other hand, are only useful if you sell third-party product and want to filter by manufacturer.
