Same problem here.
The Product pages seem to be outside the usual page organisation. I installed Get Page IDs plugin but that does not find the product pages.
It seems cantankerous to provide a shortcode that uses the page ID and then make the page IDs invisible!
For sure! So far, I have found no solution but have been inquiring about it. I’ll let you know if something works, and I’d love to hear if you stumble across something.
The hard way.
On the product page use View Source in your browser to see the source code.
Then Find in the browser to find product_id.
This will give you the number – but incredibly laborious.
Hi guys,
Sorry there has been some confusion.
Here is where the shortcode button is in the Editor Toolbar (the credit card button on the right.) – http://cl.ly/image/0q0r43170T07
Here is what clicking that produces – http://cl.ly/image/0G0f0n2E1117
Here’s the code produced in one configuration – http://cl.ly/image/3o3I2v1s1Y2B
If you want to get a post’s product ID – go to that post in your WordPress admin area and look at the “post_id” in the URL. The ID is listed there. Something like site.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=218&action=edit (218 would be the post ID).
Justin,
Many thanks for your response.
I’ve just taken a quick look and can see where the confusion arose. I certainly didn’t look any further after finding an icon that looked vaguely like a credit card and opened up with shortcodes.
That looks like a comprehensive solution – once the user is aware that it exists. Maybe a little more help and some pointers in the Documentation would be useful?
Regards
Hi,
That’s helpful to know where to get shortcodes. In my case, I tried inputting the product shortcode (with correct i.d.) into a blank page, and when trying to preview the page nothing showed up–only my landing page.
Also, when I go into Products from WPAdmin, and then click on a product itself, I see that I have created the page but no preview is available of that product. Once again, when I click on Preview I just get the landing page. Any thoughts? http://www.healthovers.com

Nevermind. I just found out that the last issue I posted on this thread is not coming from WP E-commerce. Rather, it’s an issue with my WP design template.
Thanks for all the previous responses, they are helpful.
