FAQ - Why can’t I include commas in my Shopify tags?
A standard comma (,) in a Shopify tag creates a new tag. To include a comma-like character within one tag, use a low single comma. This is helpful for customer names, store names, and customer codes
If you use a standard comma (,) in a Shopify tag, Shopify will treat it as a separator and create a new tag. Because of this, standard commas cannot be used inside a single tag value.
How can I include a comma in a Shopify tag?
If you need to include a comma in a Shopify tag for a customer name, customer code, store name, or similar value, use a low single comma character instead of a standard comma.
This allows the text to appear with a comma-like character without causing Shopify to split the tag into multiple tags.
What is a low single comma?
A low single comma is a special character that looks similar to a comma but is treated differently than a standard comma.
Where can I copy the low single comma?

Is there a Shopify reference for this behavior?
Yes. Shopify community guidance is available here:

Example
Instead of using a standard comma in a tag like:
Pine Needles, Mid Pines & Southern Pines Golf Club
you would replace the standard comma with a low single comma character so Shopify does not split the tag.
