How Do I Get Product Variant ID Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:19 pm

Product variants are a key feature of Shopify that allow you to offer a variety of products without having to create separate listings for each one. For example, if you sell t-shirts in different sizes and colors, you can create a single listing for the t-shirt and then use variants to offer the different size and color options.

When you add a product to your Shopify store, you’ll be prompted to add a variant if your product has multiple options (like size or color). If your product only has one option (like quantity), then you don’t need to add a variant.

How Do I Get Product Variant ID Shopify?

To get a product variant’s ID number:

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Products.
  • Click the name of the product that you want to edit.
  • In the Variants section, click the name of the variant that you want to edit.

The variant’s ID number is displayed in the ID field.

You can use this ID number when you need to reference a specific variant in your code or when adding products with variants to your cart using the Storefront API.

PRO TIP: If you are looking for a Shopify Product Variant ID, be warned that this is not possible. Shopify does not offer a Product Variant ID, because each variant is a separate product.

Conclusion

Product variants are essential for stores that sell products with multiple options. You can easily get a product variant’s ID number by going to the product page and selecting the variant from the list. This ID number can be used when referencing a specific variant in code or when adding products with variants to your cart using the Storefront API.
