As a best practice, we recommend always reading the changelog before updating. You should also test updates in a staging environment before your live site if you can!

Please see this documentation to get more information on best practices for updating Order Tags for WooCommerce.

Order Tags in the Order List

↑ Back to top

The Order Tags feature adds clear, color-coded labels directly inside your WooCommerce order list. This allows store managers to instantly identify important orders without having to open each one individually.

  1. Order List Table
    • Displays all WooCommerce orders.
    • A new Tags column is added by the plugin, showing one or more tags associated with each order.
  2. Order Tags
    • Tags are automatically or manually assigned based on rules you configure.
    • Each tag is styled with a distinct background color for quick visual recognition.
    • Multiple tags can appear on a single order if it meets multiple conditions.
  3. Filter by Tags
    • The admin can filter the order list by one or more tags.
    • This helps quickly locate orders that need special handling (e.g., all “Backorder” or “Manual Review” orders).
  4. Color Coding
    • Each tag can be customized with a unique color, making it easy to distinguish between different order types at a glance.

Rule Logic

    • Condition 2: Shipping Country = Canada
    • Logic: Subtotal over $500 AND Shipping to Canada → Apply tag “VIP Canada Order”.

Tag notification

↑ Back to top

After creating the rule and defining its conditions, you can set up Notification. Notification control what happens when an order matches the conditions of your tag rule. They let you connect order tagging with notifications, automation, and external systems.

Available Notification

  1. Email Notification
    Sends an email when the tag is applied to an order. You can send alerts to store managers, staff, or even customers. Email content supports shortcodes (like order ID, tag name, subtotal, etc.). Option to send the notification only once per order, even if the tag is reapplied.

    Example: Send an email to your warehouse manager when an order is tagged “High Value” (e.g., order subtotal > $500).
  1. Telegram Notification
    Instantly notifies you or your team via Telegram when the tag is applied. Useful for urgent updates like international shipments, fraud review, or rush orders. Option to trigger only the first time the tag is applied.

    Example: Send a Telegram alert to the shipping team when an order is tagged “International”.
  1. Webhook Trigger
    Fires a webhook to external systems when a tag is applied.Lets you connect with third-party tools like Zapier, Make.com, or custom APIs. Can be set to trigger only on the first application of the tag.

    Example: When an order is tagged “Warehouse Sync”, send a webhook to your inventory system to start packing.
