How Do I Find the Product Category ID in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 18, 2023 @ 6:06 am

If you’re looking to find the product category ID in WooCommerce, there are a few different ways you can go about it. Depending on what exactly you need the ID for, there are a few different methods that might be better suited for your needs.

If you just need to find the category ID for a single product, the easiest way to do it is to go to the product page in the backend of your WooCommerce store. In the “Product Categories” section, you’ll see a list of all the categories that the product is assigned to. The ID for each category is listed next to its name.

However, if you need to find the category IDs for multiple products at once, or if you need to find the category ID for a category itself (rather than a product in that category), there are a few different methods you can use.

One way is to go to WooCommerce > Products > Categories. This will show you a list of all your product categories, and each one will have its own ID next to it.

Another way is to use WP_Query. This method is more complicated, but it can be useful if you need to get other information about the categories as well (such as their names or descriptions).

To use WP_Query, you first need to set up a new instance of WP_Query with some parameters. For example:

$args = array( 
'post_type' => 'product', 
'product_cat' => $cat_id 
); 
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
