In Shopify, you can create custom tags for each section where they are used. It's important to note that tags created in one section are not copied to other sections. For example, you can use tags like "packed" or "test" to organize orders, while using tags like "tax exempt" or "wholesale" to describe customers.
Each type of tag corresponds to a specific section in Shopify, such as products, transfers, customers, blog posts, orders, and draft orders. This allows you to efficiently organize and manage your data in each respective section without mixing tags across different areas of your Shopify store.
