Choose a sequence and its format

Sequential Order Numbers Pro for WooCommerce numbers new WooCommerce orders sequentially. Choose a starting number and add custom text before the number, after it, or on both sides. For example, a store format could look like WT101UK and WT102UK.

Set the starting point with order history in mind

Choose a starting number higher than the most current order number. Existing orders count toward the numbering logic, so review the order history before selecting where the sequence begins.

Test orders count too. If they should not affect a sequence intended to begin at a particular number, move them to the trash and permanently delete them. Trashed orders continue to count in case they are restored.

Use the order number in integrations

When storing or displaying order references in custom development or connected extensions, use the WooCommerce order number. It can be filtered by an extension like this one; the underlying order ID remains the post ID. For an order object, WooCommerce provides the order number through $order->get_order_number().

Install and check the numbering

The site needs WooCommerce 3.9.4 or newer. Install and activate Sequential Order Numbers Pro for WooCommerce, then set the starting number, prefix, and suffix for the shop’s chosen format. Review existing orders before setting the starting point. After saving, place or review an order and confirm that its displayed number follows the intended sequence and format.
