Frequently asked questions

What does the Sequential Order Number for WooCommerce plugin do?

The Sequential Order Number for WooCommerce plugin enables you to re-arrange or format your existing and new WooCommerce order numbers into a consecutive or linear format.

How does the plugin assign order numbers?

WordPress uses an ID system for posts, pages, and media files. WooCommerce uses the same ID for order numbers too. When a new WooCommerce order is created it may not always get the next order in sequence as the ID may have already been used up by another post or page. Using this custom order number plugin, you will always get sequential numbers for your WooCommerce orders.

What happens when the plugin is activated?

When you activate the sequential order number plugin, if you have no orders in your store, your orders will start counting from order number 1 or the custom starting number specified. If you have existing orders, the order number will pick up from your highest order number.

What are the features of the free version of the plugin?

The free version of the Sequential Order Number for WooCommerce plugin supports sequential order numbers, custom starting number for orders, custom prefix to order numbers, order date prefix, option to choose order template, custom order number length, option to keep existing order numbers, order number preview available, enable admin order search for custom order numbers, supports subscription orders, enables order tracking, supports WooCommerce custom order numbers, compatible with HPOS, tested OK with PHP 8, and tested OK with WooCommerce 8.2.1.

Where can I find the installation and setup instructions for the plugin?
