Introduction

In an eCommerce store where each day you receive thousands of orders, order numbers are important to distinguish one order from the others. What if these order numbers are given randomly? That would make the whole store management pretty hard for you.

Custom Order Number helps to easily manage your store order numbering using prefixes and suffixes to custom starting numbers. The default ID of Magento only includes the numbers and the ID of the first order is 000000001. Therefore, with newly established websites, the order quantity is low, which makes customers feel that this store has no high reliability. This leads to a low number of purchasing the number of customers at your store.

The store managers can manage their order numbering using prefixes, suffixes and any combination of numbers, letters and date/time variables and with fluently changing counter increment step it protects your business data from competitors and attracts more customers. With this extension, the admin can customise the order numbers by setting a starting number, order number length, and custom prefixes and suffixes for all orders or according to website ,store and customer group

Instead of your order numbers looking like 15, 16, 37, and so on, they could now be WT-01000-UK, WT-01001-UK, or whatever format you prefer! 

This extension works equally well for new and established stores: if your Magento site already has orders placed, the custom order number will pick up from the last order number, or begin with the starting number you configure. It’s your choice! This is a great extension for improving the efficiency of your Magento store. Using this extension in your store, the admin could simply extend by automatically setting customized order numbers for new orders.

If there are existing orders at the time of installation, the extension will start with the highest current order number. And if you have no orders in your store, your orders will begin counting from order number 1. In this extension, the admin will also have access to a number of cool features which includes starting order numbering from any number, setting a custom order number prefix and suffix.
