Getting the ID of your product or category
Each product and category in your Sauecommerce store has its own unique identifier (or ID). You can see these identifiers as part of the product/category web address. IDs can be used to create CSS codes for certain store pages or to add a specific store category to a website.
In this article, we explain how you can find the ID of a product or product category.

Getting ID for a product
There are several ways to get the ID of a product. First, you can copy IDs for individual products from your Sauecommerce admin or from the storefront. Second, you can export IDs for several products in bulk.
To get the ID of an individual product:
- From your Sauecommerce admin, go to Catalog → Products.
- Open the product.
- Copy the ID from the browser address bar. You will see numbers that go after “id=” — that’s the ID of your product (“239904127” in our example):
- Open your Sauecommerce storefront.You can always access your storefront by clicking the View [your store name] link in the top right corner of the admin.
- Navigate to the page of the product.
- Copy the ID from the browser address bar. It’s the numbers that go at the end of the link, after letter “p” (“239904127” in our example):
If you need to get IDs of hidden products (en inglés) that do not display in the storefront, you can do that only in your Sauecommerce admin.
In case you want to get the IDs of several products in bulk, you can export products with their IDs to a CSV file. The CSV file downloaded to your device will contain a list of IDs for your products in the "product_internal_id" column. You can open this file in any text editor like Notepad or TextEdit or in a spreadsheet editor like Excel or Google Sheets.
