I've been reading some previous threads asking about tagging items so customers can easily search for particular product attributes. It appears the only way to do this is to create a category for each attribute that you want to make searchable? This seems pretty cumbersome.
I have a site where I sell native wildflower seeds and I'd like customers to be able to filter my products down by bloom time, germination code, states where the plant is native, flower color, etc. So I would have to create a category for each month of the year and add each plant to each month-category that it blooms (note plants oftern bloom for several months); create a category for each germination method and add each plant to the particular germination method; create a category for each state and add each plant that is native in each state-category (note that some plants are native to all 50 states...); create a category for each color and add each plant to a color category. I'll be doing this full time for MONTHS! Surely there's a better way!
I see that Square lets you create custom attributes, but as far as I can tell, you can't access these custom attributes via your website or actually do anything useful with them. They're just kind of there. What's the deal?
Seems as though the ability to add tags would be very useful. Oh look! Square community threads use tags (labels)! How useful!
