Shopify merchants have access to a wealth of data that can help them run their business more efficiently. However, sifting through all this information can be time-consuming and overwhelming.
That's where high-level customizable reports come in.
These reports provide a comprehensive view of Shopify orders, customers, sales, and more, so that merchants can identify patterns and trends. This article will explain how to create superior analytical reports for order management on Shopify. We'll also share some tips on how to get the most out of these powerful tools for those ready to take their business to the next level.
Tags: The What and The Why
Order tags are labels that you can create and apply to orders in Shopify. They're used to help organize orders and track different statuses. For example, they can indicate whether an order has been shipped, is being processed, or needs attention.
Merchants can create and manage their order tags in the ‘Tags’ section of the ‘Orders’ page in Shopify. It is possible to add new ones, rename or delete existing ones, and even change their colors. Merchants can also apply a tag to an order by clicking it on the ‘Orders’ page or in the shipping confirmation email sent to customers. Once it is applied to an order, all of the associated information is added to that tag.
They are also a useful tool in marketing and creating a better customer experience. For example, installing order tags for delayed orders means that merchants can communicate to those customers and update them about their order status. 97% of customers expect to have the ability to monitor their orders throughout the shipping process, so businesses clearly need better customer communication for success.

SC Order Tags & Flows: Jenga With Auto Tags
SC Order Tags & Flows allows merchants to create an unlimited number of workflows to add different tags. These can be based on their stores line items, delivery date, zip code, order attributes, inventory levels, existing tags, and much more. Each automated workflow consists of an important component. Here’s a list of the components, and how to automatically tag orders in Shopify:
- Trigger - This is the trigger action that will kick off the workflow. For example, if the word “delay” is added to see when orders are delayed, it will inform if anything with an update has been posted since last time. This gives much more insight into the customer's needs.
- Criteria - Would you like to know which order meets combined criteria? For example, when your orders are delayed but have been paid for? Well, now with the help of Order Tags & Flows, it’s possible. This app lets users combine AND/OR operators based on certain criteria—in this case, creating tags that identify those who are still waiting for the delivery of their order which is paid for.
- Add/Remove - By using tags, any number of items can be added or deleted. They use dynamic data to combine order and static text values like "loc" for location which helps merchants sort their orders based on where they are going to be delivered.
- Scheduled Removal/Deletion – Merchants have the option to set an expiry date on tags after a certain period of time. For example, discounted orders for the holiday season have an expiration date specified in their settings on Shopify.
