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

I have been wanting to publish this guide for a long while. As a freelancer, every day I repeat many operations that make me waste time – and one of them is indeed "How to get ___ if we have the $product variable/object?".
For example, "How can we get the product SKU?? Or "How can we 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

Get Product Info

1. If we have access to $product

// Get Product ID
 
$product->get_id(); (fixes the error: "Notice: id was called incorrectly. Product properties should not be accessed directly")
 
// 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();

$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();
get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $product->get_id(), 'full' );
$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. If we have access to $product_id

If we have access to the product ID (once again, usually the do_action or apply_filters will make this possible to we), we 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. if we 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 = new WC_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.

// 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.
 
}
