- Short answer
- Open the product in your Shopify admin: the number after /products/ in the browser address bar is its product ID.
- From an app or developer
- gid://shopify/Product/123 is the global ID of product 123.
- Product CSV
- In October 2026 the column reference listed 43 columns, none a numeric product ID; the URL handle identifies each product.
Where the product ID is in the Shopify admin
Shopify's help page gives three steps:
- Go to Products.
- Click the product.
- Read the number after
/products/in the address bar: inadmin.shopify.com/store/shopname/products/1234567, the ID is 1234567.
- Products
Product ID vs variant ID, SKU and handle
Four identifiers get mixed up:
| Identifier | Identifies | Looks like | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product ID | The product | A number, such as 1234567 | After /products/ in the admin URL |
| Variant ID | One variant (a product with no variants still has a variant ID) | A number | After /variants/ on a variant's page; not in the URL for a product without variants |
| SKU | One variant | Your own optional code; should differ per variant | The product CSV's SKU column |
| URL handle | The product | Text based on the title by default | Product URL and product CSV |
For a variant ID, including on a product without variants, see finding a Shopify variant ID.
An app or developer may send gid://shopify/Product/123: the GraphQL Admin API's global ID for product 123. The legacy REST Admin API uses the plain number.
Does the product CSV include product IDs?
Not in the column reference we read in October 2026: it lists 43 columns, and none is a numeric product ID. Shopify's CSV help page calls the identifying column the URL handle, “The unique identifier for each product,” based on the Title by default; see how an import treats existing products.
To reconcile with an app, take the ID from the admin or from what the app or your developer reads through Shopify's APIs.
