### How to create custom badges

Custom badges are easy to create and all done in your Product setup. You simply add a tag to any of your products with a custom prefix. When Palo Alto sees the custom tag, it sticks the badge right onto the product in any grid view like collections, search, recommendations, and more.

### Creating custom tags

When Palo Alto sees a product that has a tag beginning with `_badge_`, it will take the following portion and apply that as the custom badge.

Example: `_badge_Black_Friday`

![Separate multiple words with underscore](/files/JQzE8uf2oU9o24H8QofL)

Displayed as:

### Additional Badges

Palo Alto also includes automated 'Sale' and 'Sold Out' badges. As shown above, some badges can be mixed together like the 'Sale' and 'Savings' badges.

The settings to enable or disable certain badges can be found under Theme Settings > Product Grid:

### Preorder badge

The final badge in Palo Alto is the 'Preorder' badge. It's enabled individually for each product by adding a `_preorder` tag to the product.

### Badge priority

Some badges can disable or overwrite others. For example, if a product is sold out, it can't be shown as on sale.

Custom badges have the highest priority. They will appear alongside other badges to give more information to your customers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Preorder badge will not appear if the product is Sold Out. Make sure that you have quantity for your preorder products.
{% endhint %}
