Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce

About Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce

This plugin automatically sets sequential order numbers for new orders in your WooCommerce store. It requires WooCommerce 3.9.4 or newer and does not require any configuration. If you have existing orders, the sequential order numbers will start with the highest current order number.

Frequently asked questions

What does this plugin do?

This plugin extends WooCommerce by automatically setting sequential order numbers for new orders. If there are existing orders at the time of installation, the sequential order numbers will start with the highest current order number.

Do I need to configure anything?

No configuration needed! The plugin is so easy to use, there aren't even any settings. Activate it, and orders will automatically become sequential.

How does the order numbering work?

If you have no orders in your store, your orders will begin counting from order number 1. If you have existing orders, the count will pick up from your highest order number. If you've placed test orders, you must trash and permanently delete them to begin ordering at '1' (trashed orders have to be counted in case they're restored, so they need to be gone completely).

Is there support available for this plugin?

We do support our free plugins and extensions, but please understand that support for premium products takes priority. We typically check the forums every few days (usually with a maximum delay of one week).

Is there a premium version of this plugin available?

If you like this plugin, but are looking for the ability to set the starting number, or to add a custom prefix/suffix to your order numbers, please consider our premium Sequential Order Numbers Pro for WooCommerce plugin, which is available in the WooCommerce Store.
