Tags: Labels that help classify products or variations using specific keywords.
Examples: One-Penny-PreRolls, Seasonal, Managers-Fav, DankDeal.
Effects: Descriptive markers indicating the effects a product may provide
Examples: Sleepy, Creative, Focused.

Demo Video: How to use Product Tags and Effects
Add a Tag or Effect to an Individual Product
Open the Menu and go to Inventory
Select Products across the purple bar at the top
Search for the product or variant you would like to add a tag or effect to
Select edit in the right-side panel
There are two drop-down menus for a tag or effect on the main product and an additional option to tag variations separately.
If this is the first time creating this tag/effect, type it in the box and click the drop-down that says, "Create"
If a tag/effect is already created, it will appear in the dropdown menu
Once the product/variation has a tag/effect attached, save the product.
Bulk Add a Tag or Effect to Multiple Products
Note: Any bulk tag/effect will only apply to the master product, not the master product variations.
Open the Menu and go to Inventory
Select Products across the purple bar at the top
Use the checkboxes on the left side of the screen to bulk-select the products to which you would like to add a tag or effect.
Select "Edit Tags" on the right to select a tag or effect
Select an action to perform
Add New - Add new tags/effects to the selected items without affecting existing tags/effects.

Under Cashier, Budtenders can easily filter the sellable inventory within a Drawer based on the tags and effects applied to products.
While assigned to a drawer, select the Filters button within the Cashier view.
Select the tags or effects that your customer is interested. For instance: energetic or flower-on-sale
The product results displayed will return only items with those tags or effects.
Build Deals on Tags/Effects
One advantage of using Tags on Products is that they can be leveraged to describe items that are eligible for a specific Deal.
For example, if you're running a "Holiday" sale on disparate items across your store that aren't easily definable using the parameters in Product Discount Deals -- you can add a "Holiday" tag to those items, then select that Tag in Deals to pull out every item in your Product Catalog with that tag.
Below is an example where the Tag used is "flower-on-sale" - Any Product with that tag will be eligible for the discount.
