Categories are the primary way to organise your products, but sometimes you need another way to sort them. Product Tags are an alternative way of grouping your products. This is helpful for viewing how certain products sell in your reports. It can also be used in multipricing and price triggers.
You might use these for:
"Food" & "Beverage"
"New"
"Specials"
Create product tag
Go to Products > Product Tags
Click Add New Item
Enter the name of your Product Tag (e.g. Beverages)
Enter a description for your reference (e.g. Food)
Repeat for any other product tags
Attach a product tag to a product
Go to Products > Products
Click the pencil button to enter the Product Details page
Scroll down to Product tags and enter the tag name, then select it.
Save the Product Details
Now when you go into a report (e.g. Top Selling Products), you can filter your products by that product tag.
How to Create, Use, and Manage Product Tags in Nomni
Product tags in Nomni are versatile tools that allow you to group products independently of categories. They are particularly useful for setting up price triggers and promotions, enabling precise targeting of items across different categories. This guide explains how to create, assign, and manage product tags effectively.
Overview of Product Tags
Product tags are labels that help you organize products for specific purposes, such as applying discounts or promotions. For example, you can use tags to group items for a "buy one, get one free" deal or other price triggers. Tags provide flexibility by allowing you to target products without being restricted by their category.
Creating and Assigning Product Tags
Follow these steps to create and assign product tags in Nomni:
Creating Product Tags
Navigate to Products > Product Tags.
Click Add New Item.
Enter a name for the tag (you can also add an optional description).
Save the tag.
Assigning Tags to Products
Go to Products > Products.
Locate the product you want to tag (use category filters to simplify your search).
Edit the product and go to Settings > Configuration > Product Tags.
Select the tag you created and click Add.
Repeat these steps for all relevant products.
Using Product Tags in Price Triggers
Once tags are created and assigned, you can use them in price triggers to apply discounts or promotions. Here’s how:
Create a price trigger and navigate to the Conditions section.
Select Product Tags as the condition type.
Choose the relevant tag(s) from the list.
Configure the discount or promotion details. The trigger will apply to all products associated with the selected tag(s), regardless of their category.
Best Practices for Managing Product Tags
Verify Usage Before Deletion: Before deleting a product tag, ensure it is not referenced in any active price triggers or promotions. Deleting a tag that is in use could disrupt ongoing deals.
Keep Tags Organized: Use clear and descriptive names for tags to make them easy to identify and manage.
Review Tags Regularly: Periodically review your tags to ensure they are still relevant and being used effectively.
By following these steps and best practices, you can efficiently manage product tags in Nomni to optimize your menu organization and promotional strategies.
