Once you've activated the Product Labels app in your website admin panel, you can find the app settings under "Settings > Store Settings > Product Labels".

There are 2 ways to add labels to products - either with Global Labels to apply to multiple products based on configurable rules, or you can add a label to a single product on the edit product page.
Global Labels
Setting up Global labels can be useful if you have multiple products that you want to have a specific label on, or if the product you want to target can vary from time to time.
Head to the app settings page ("Settings > Store Settings > Product Labels") to configure your Global Labels. From that overview you can edit or delete existing labels by hovering over the rows and clicking the row actions that show up. Click the "Add Product Label" button to create a global label.
When adding or editing a label you will see a screen similar to the above screenshot. In the "Global Label conditions" box you can set different conditions and condition groups. A product must match all the given conditions in at least one of the condition groups for the label to apply. You can set and customise the display options in the "Global Label settings" box.
Single Labels
As well as Global Labels, you can also set labels for single products. Head to the product's edit screen and look for the "Product Data" metabox. Click the "Product label" tab to configure a label for that specific product only. You can also exclude that product from being used with global labels.
Smart Labels
Smart labels are text-strings which are dynamically replaced with content based on the product details. You can type any of the following into the "Label Text" field for both single and global labels.
{percentage}- Displays the calculated discount percentage.{discount}- Displays the amount of discount given (currency formatted).{price}- Displays the product price (currency formatted).{saleprice}- Displays the product sale price (currency formatted).{delprice}- Displays the original product price with a strikethrough (currency formatted).
