In CS-Cart a tag is a label a shopper filters a list by. This add-on turns tags into sections of the store: every tag gets a page of its own with its own address, title, description and meta data. The store gains dozens of landing pages for themes the category tree does not have: "Full HD", "Gifts under $50", "Camping", "Left-handed tools".
What the store gets
- Landing pages for thematic queries. A tag page is indexable: its own URL, title, description and meta data.
- Navigation across the catalogue. One tag gathers products from different categories — and, next to them, pages and blog posts.
- Internal linking. Tag clouds on categories, in product cards and in the blog connect products with articles and information pages.
- Order in the tags. A list of every tag, an alphabet index for two alphabets, search with suggestions.
- Saved time. Tags are assigned in bulk — by rules, by import, or on a schedule after an exchange with an ERP.
How it looks
 A tag page: title, description and the list of objects. |  Products, pages and blog posts — with a type switcher. |
 The tag list: two alphabets, search, grouping by letter. |  A tag cloud above the product list of a category. |
 Product tags sit above the name and lead to their own pages. | |
How it works
- Create a tag and describe it: name, description, page address, meta data.
- Assign the tag to products, pages and blog posts — by hand or by rules in the tag card.
- Show the tags to the shopper: clouds on categories, a block in the layout editor, the tag list in the menu.
What the store owner sees
 The owner decides where tags work: products, pages, blog posts. |  A tag has its own card: description, colour, SEO, assignment rules. |
 The order of sections is set by dragging. |  You see how many products, pages and posts each tag has collected. |
New in version 2.14
- Blog posts became a section of their own on the tag page; the order of sections is set by dragging.
- A type switcher appeared: the shopper sees only products, only pages or only articles — and can always come back to everything at once.
- The alphabet index filters the list without reloading the page; letters with no tags behind them are shown inactive.
- Tag clouds on a category are built by one cached query instead of two passes over the catalogue — on a large store the difference is visible in the load.
- The tags sitemap gives one canonical address per page and passes language versions through hreflang.
- A "License Key" field appeared: without it the store never received add-on updates.
