How Do I Use Product ID in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:45 pm

Product ID is one of the most important pieces of data in WooCommerce. It is used to identify products in the database, and it is used by many WooCommerce features and extensions.

Product ID can be found in the product edit screen, in the product’s URL, and in the source code of the product page.

Product ID is used to identify products in the WooCommerce database. When you add a new product to your store, WooCommerce will automatically generate a unique Product ID for that product.

This Product ID is used internally by WooCommerce, and it is also used by many WooCommerce features and extensions.

You can find the Product ID for a product in the product edit screen. Simply go to your WordPress dashboard and click on Products > All Products.

Then, click on the name of the product you want to edit. On the Edit Product screen, you will see the Product ID field near the top of the screen, under the General tab.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, using Product ID in WooCommerce can lead to duplicate content on your site. This can negatively impact your search engine optimization and cause your site to rank lower in search results.

The Product ID can also be found in the product’s URL. Simply go to your store and navigate to the product page. In the URL, you will see a string of numbers after “product” that corresponds to the Product ID. For example, if you see “product=123” in the URL, then 123 is the Product ID for that product.

Finally, you can also find the Product ID in the source code of the product page.

To do this, simply go to your store and navigate to the product page. Then, right-click on the page and select “View Page Source.” A new tab will open with all of the HTML code for that page. Search through that code until you find a string of numbers after “product_id.” That string of numbers is the Product ID.

Product IDs are important pieces of data that are used throughout WooCommerce. By understanding how to find a product’s ID number, you can more easily troubleshoot errors and manage your products.
