Get custom category name from ID

Question

I am having issues retrieving a custom category name. I already have its ID, which is coming to me from a custom field. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Woocommerce.

I'm trying to do this:

<?php get_term_by( 'id', $my_custom_cat_id, 'product-cat') ?>

But I get an empty value back, even though I know the category ID is correct (I am using it as query args already)

Many thanks

See the inline comments. Not tested. The following code will grab all the Custom Taxonomy Terms of Custom Taxonomy 'product-cat' and will show them one by one from the result array.

<?php
global $post;
$postID = $post->ID //get/put your post ID here
$getProductCat = get_the_terms( $postID, 'product-cat' ); //as it's returning an array
foreach ( $getProductCat as $productInfo ) {
    echo $productInfo->name;
}
