Easily Access Any WooCommerce Product Data Using PHP

Once you have the $product object available in WooCommerce, it’s very easy to pull up any data you might possibly be looking for.

Assigning Product Data To A Variable

Just to be crystal clear, when I say you need to assign the method’s to a variable this is what I mean by that:

				
					
global $product;

// Assign product name
$product_name = $product->get_name(); // Get product name.

// Wrap product name in h2 and output it
echo '<h2>' . $product_name . '</h2>';
				
			

How To Access The $product Object

You need to make sure that you have access to the product object, if you try and perform any of the methods on a variable that is not a product object you will encounter a fatal error.

Depending on where you are in your WordPress installation and what you are doing you might access the $product object in a number of different ways.

How To Access The $product Object If You Have The Product ID

This is a simple one, if you have the product_id you can access the product object using the following WooCommerce function:

				
					// Get $product object from product ID
$product = wc_get_product( $product_id );
  
// Do your thing
$product->get_type();
$product->get_name();
				
			

How To Access The $product Object If You Are In A Query Loop

				
					global $post;

// Get post id
$post_id = $post->ID;

// Get product object
$product = wc_get_product( $post_id );
$product = wc_get_product( $post ); // Or just do it directly

// Go on then...
$product->get_price();
				
			

How To Access The $product Object If You Are Doing Something On The Product Page

				
					// Done
global $product;

$product->get_price();
				
			

How To Access The $product Object If You Are Accessing The Cart Object

				
					// Cart Object
$cart = WC()->cart->get_cart();
  
foreach( $cart as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ){
  
    // Product Object
    $product = $cart_item['data'];
  
    // Start accessing data
    $price = $product->get_price();
  
}
				
			

A Word Of Precaution

When you are using methods on class objects in php – which is done by $variable->method(), if you try to do this on a variable that is not an object or the method is not available it will throw a fatal error.

This means that all script will stop running and depending on where you’ve put this code it will shut down your website.

Don’t worry – the damage is not permanent so long as you undo the change.

Anyway, there’s a lot you can do to make sure you’re in the clear, but here’s a really simple little check.

It’s not the most foolproof, but I often use this because it’s simple and quick to write and it gets me out of trouble for almost all of the use cases I am in.

				
					// Check to make sure this is an object
if ( is_object($product) ) {

    // Then do what we're going to do
    $product_name = $product->get_name();

}

Thank you, this is the article I was looking for. Btw may I know what you use for your great and fast website? I’m also planning to create a simple website for my business, but I need a domain and hosting recommendation. I hear asphostportal has a good reputation for that. Can you recommend them or are there any alternatives?
