WooCommerce: Get Product Info (ID, SKU, $) from $product Object

> Published: Jul 2017 - Revised: Apr 2020 > Blog Category: WooCommerce Tutorials > Blog Tags: Price, Single Product Page > Blog Comments: 51 Comments

I’ve been wanting to publish this guide for a long while. As a WooCommerce development freelancer, every day I repeat many operations that make me waste time… and one of them is indeed “How to get ____ if I have the $product variable/object?“.

For example, “How can I get the product SKU“? Or “How can I get the product short description“? Or maybe the product stock level, shipping class, tax class, price, regular price, sale price, and so on… hopefully this article will save you time.

Of course, not always you have access to the $product variable (I’m talking about WooCommerce hooks for example), so you’re also required to understand your case scenario and see if you can “get” that $product object in another way.

For example, you might know the $product_id. In this case, you have to find a way to “get the $product object from $product_id” – you find this example below.

Other examples might be the order or the cart pages. Once again, in here you don’t really have a $product available, so you have to loop through the order/cart items and “get” it. After that, you can then calculate and get any piece of information you require out of $product. Enjoy!

1. You have access to $product variable

Hooks (do_action and apply_filters) use additional arguments which are passed on to the function. If they allow you to use the “$product” object you’re in business. Alternatively, you can declare the “global $product” inside your function.

In both cases, here’s how to get all the product information:

// Get Product ID
  
$product->get_id();
  
// Get Product General Info
  
$product->get_type();
$product->get_name();
$product->get_slug();
$product->get_date_created();
$product->get_date_modified();
$product->get_status();
$product->get_featured();
$product->get_catalog_visibility();
$product->get_description();
$product->get_short_description();
$product->get_sku();
$product->get_menu_order();
$product->get_virtual();
get_permalink( $product->get_id() );
  
// Get Product Prices
  
$product->get_price();
$product->get_regular_price();
$product->get_sale_price();
$product->get_date_on_sale_from();
$product->get_date_on_sale_to();
$product->get_total_sales();
  
// Get Product Tax, Shipping & Stock
  
$product->get_tax_status();
$product->get_tax_class();
$product->get_manage_stock();
$product->get_stock_quantity();
$product->get_stock_status();
$product->get_backorders();
$product->get_sold_individually();
$product->get_purchase_note();
$product->get_shipping_class_id();
  
// Get Product Dimensions
  
$product->get_weight();
$product->get_length();
$product->get_width();
$product->get_height();
$product->get_dimensions();
  
// Get Linked Products
  
$product->get_upsell_ids();
$product->get_cross_sell_ids();
$product->get_parent_id();
  
// Get Product Variations
  
$product->get_attributes();
$product->get_default_attributes();
  
// Get Product Taxonomies
  
$product->get_categories();
$product->get_category_ids();
$product->get_tag_ids();
  
// Get Product Downloads
  
$product->get_downloads();
$product->get_download_expiry();
$product->get_downloadable();
$product->get_download_limit();
  
// Get Product Images
  
$product->get_image_id();
$product->get_image();
$product->get_gallery_image_ids();
  
// Get Product Reviews
  
$product->get_reviews_allowed();
$product->get_rating_counts();
$product->get_average_rating();
$product->get_review_count();

2. You have access to $product_id

If you have access to the product ID (once again, usually the do_action or apply_filters will make this possible to you), you have to get the product object first. Then, do the exact same things as above.

// Get $product object from product ID
  
$product = wc_get_product( $product_id );
  
// Now you have access to (see above)...
  
$product->get_type();
$product->get_name();
// etc.
// etc.

3. You have access to the Order object or Order ID

How to get the product information inside the Order? In this case you will need to loop through all the items present in the order, and then apply the rules above.

// Get $product object from $order / $order_id
  
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$items = $order->get_items();
  
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
  
    $product = wc_get_product( $item['product_id'] );
  
    // Now you have access to (see above)...
  
    $product->get_type();
    $product->get_name();
    // etc.
    // etc.
  
}

4. You have access to the Cart object

How to get the product information inside the Cart? In this case, once again, you will need to loop through all the items present in the cart, and then apply the rules above.

If you wish to expand your WooCommerce PHP knowledge, here’s an other article on how to get additional info out of the $cart object.

// Get $product object from Cart object
  
$cart = WC()->cart->get_cart();
  
foreach( $cart as $cart_item ){
  
    $product = wc_get_product( $cart_item['product_id'] );
  
    // Now you have access to (see above)...
  
    $product->get_type();
    $product->get_name();
    // etc.
    // etc.
  
}
