Is it Possible to Find a Product Using the Product ID on an E-Commerce Site?

Yes, it is generally possible to find a product using its product ID on an e-commerce site. Most e-commerce platforms have a search feature that allows users to enter the product ID directly into the search bar. If the product ID is valid and the product is still listed on the site, it should take you directly to the product page.

How to Find a Product Using a Product ID

Here are some steps and methods you can use to find a product using its product ID:

1. Search Bar Method

Enter the product ID directly into the site's search function. This is the most straightforward method and is commonly used on many e-commerce platforms.

2. URL Structure Method

Some e-commerce sites may have a URL structure that incorporates the product ID. You can try constructing the URL if you know the site's format. For example:

_id123456

Here, 123456 is the product ID.

3. Contact Customer Support

If you are still having trouble finding the product by its ID, you can contact the site's customer service for assistance. Customer support representatives can help you find the product or provide guidance on how to locate it.

4. Filters and Categories

Products may also be listed under specific categories, so browsing through these categories might help you find the product.

Examples of Using Product IDs in Specific E-Commerce Sites

Amazon

Every single product on Amazon has a unique ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) that you can simply type directly into the search bar or in the Amazon Associate Resource Center to find it. For instance, if a product’s ASIN is B07JGXM9WN, you can enter this ASIN into the search bar to find the product.

Other E-Commerce Sites

It's important to note that not all e-commerce sites provide product ID search. Some do not provide product ID information in their product details. In such cases, you can try searching for the product ID via a Google search, or look for other ways to identify and locate the product.

Example: Amazon Product ID (ASIN)

On Amazon, they use the term ASIN for Product ID. Below is a screenshot where B07JGXM9WN is the ASIN code:

Example: Flipkart Product ID (PID)

On Flipkart, they pass the query string pid in the URL. However, they do not allow users to search products using pid. While we can find products using the Flipkart API with the same pid, direct product searches using the pid are not allowed. Here is an example of a product URL with PID:
