Gibt's dieser Produkt online?
The demonstrative pronoun must agree in case, gender, and number; 'Produkt' is neuter accusative, so it is 'dieses'.

Cultural Tip
In German, the impersonal 'es' is often omitted in spoken language, giving the contraction 'Gibt's'. In written or very formal contexts, keep the full form 'Gibt es'. Also, while 'online' is widely understood, some older speakers might prefer 'im Internet' or 'im Netz'. Adjust the level of formality based on your audience.
