Get WooCommerce product SKU in product pages meta box

I have a custom meta box in the backend of WooCommerce. Currently I have it setup to display some data from the single product page.

I've used <?php the_title(); ?> to display the title of the product and I've used <?php the_field('myfield'); ?> to display some content from an ACF field.

I really want to be able to display the SKU in this meta box as well, but everything I've tried breaks the page.

I tried adding <?php echo $product->get_sku(); ?> and it breaks the page. I've tried a bunch of other stuff to.

I just need to pass the value of the sku on the inventory tab to a meta box on the same admin page.

Can anyone else with this? Thanks.

Add this to your functions.php to display SKU (Product Code) in product page:

add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'dev_designs_show_sku', 5 );
function dev_designs_show_sku(){
    global $product;
    echo 'Product Code: ' . $product->get_sku();
}

enter image description here

If you are getting surprised seeing Product Code instead of SKU; I use below code for replacing SKU by product code (as per customer requirement)

function translate_woocommerce($translation, $text, $domain) {
    if ($domain == 'woocommerce') {
        switch ($text) {
            case 'SKU':
                $translation = 'Product Code';
                break;
            case 'SKU:':
                $translation = 'Product Code:';
                break;
        }
    }
    return $translation;
}

add_filter('gettext', 'translate_woocommerce', 10, 3);

Thank you.

The following part of code you suggested it working inside of the plugin now. 

global $post;

$product_sku = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_sku', true );

The when I echo $product_skuit returns the value.

You could try to insert a new metabox SKU field on general options product pages this way:

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'add_the_sku_to_general_product_field' );
function add_the_sku_to_general_product_field() {
    global $post;

    $product_sku = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_sku', true );

    echo '<div class="options_group">';

    woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
        'id'                => '_sku',
        'label'             => __( 'SKU', 'woocommerce' ),
        'placeholder'       => '',
        'description'       => __( 'Enter the SKU', 'woocommerce' )
    ) );

    echo '</div>';

}

// Saving the Custom Admin Field in general tab products pages when submitted
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'save_the_sku_to_general_product_field' );
function save_the_sku_to_general_product_field( $post_id ){

    $wc_field = $_POST['_sku'];

    if( !empty($wc_field))
        update_post_meta( $post_id, '_sku', esc_attr( $wc_field ) );
}

Or alternatively just displaying the SKU…

enter image description here

With this code:

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'add_the_sku_to_general_product_field' );
function add_the_sku_to_general_product_field() {
    global $post;

    $product_sku = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_sku', true );

    echo '<div class="options_group">';

    echo '<p class="form-field _sku_product "><label for="_sku_product">SKU: </label><span style="font-size:120%;">'.$product_sku.'</span></p>';

    echo '</div>';

}

As I don't use your plugin, I doesn't guaranty that this should work, but you should try it.

The Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.

Did you set $product variable as a global variable ( global $product; ) ? that already @helgatheviking mention it.

like:

global $product;
echo 'SKU: ' . $product->get_sku();
