• Where and when are you running this function? – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 14, 2019 at 9:37
• it's default woocomerce hook – Saiful Islam Commented Feb 14, 2019 at 9:41

Those two installation might still be on WordPress prior to version 4.5.0, and according to the reference:

Since 4.5.0, taxonomies should be passed via the ‘taxonomy’ argument in the $args array

So:

$args = array(
  'orderby'  => 'title',
  'order'    => 'ASC',
  'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
);
$categories = get_terms( $args );

If that doesn't work, then maybe on the new installation, your code is executed before the product_cat taxonomy is registered.

I had the same 'problem' a few days ago. Like Sally CJ edited, this may be a registration issue.
When I called term_exists(), the expected term_id was returned, but get_term() returned the Invalid taxonomy error.
My solution was to call the register_taxonomy function in my function and everything was fine.
Edit:
I called it like that (with an empty array as $args):

register_taxonomy( 'taxonomy_name', array('the_custom_post_type'), array() );

I had the same problem. For Woocomerce you can be resolved by adding the below code in functions.php:

register_taxonomy( 'product_cat', array('product'), array() );
