<h4>Archive orders based on order status</h4>
<p>Easily archive WooCommerce orders based on their status. Whether it’s completed, canceled, or custom statuses, Archiva lets you automate the process and keep your order list clutter-free.</p>

<h4>Archive Frequency</h4>
<p>Choose an archive frequency that is perfect for you store. Archiva runs the automated archive schedule once every 12 hours by default. But you can set it to run as frequently as every 30 minutes. <img class="alignnone wp-image-18734005433281 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/settings2.png?w=709" alt="archive frequency" width="709" height="122" /></p>

Archiva

<h3><strong data-start="2872" data-end="2940">Keep Your WooCommerce Admin Fast & Organized — Even as You Scale</strong></h3>
<p>Automatically archive old orders so your store stays clean, manageable, and future-ready — without manual cleanup.</p>

<h1>Customize Order Numbers</h1>
<p>The <strong>Custom Order Number</strong> extension enables you to replace default order numbers with custom order numbers.</p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Custom numbers may be more meaningful to your customers or add to your stores’ operational efficiency. The <strong>Custom Order Number</strong> extension also helps you keep business information private. Default order numbers may allow others to estimate your store’s sales volume.</span></p>
<p>Instead of offering just pre-fix and post-fix, the extension enables you to customize your order number by using an open field where you can add text, symbols, and variables. You can use up to eleven different variables to customize the order number. Variables include date, day, year, random number, sequential counter and more.</p>
<p>For example, you can replace the default order number 1343 with something like WOO-09134334 where WOO is the brand name added as text, 09 is the month, 1343 is the default order number and 34 is a 2-digit random number.</p>
<h2><strong>Features</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Enable or disable the custom counter at any time</li>
<li>Use the open text field to customize order numbers with variables</li>
<li>Use up to 11 variables to customize order numbers</li>
<li>Variables include a sequential counter, customized start, interval, rest time, and length</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Customizing order numbers</strong></p>
<p>Using an open field, you can customize order numbers with letters, words, digits, special characters, symbols, and predefined variables.</p>
<p>As soon as you start adding variables, customization options will appear. For example, when you add {counter}, the settings related to counter will appear. You will be able to customize counter start, interval rest and other details.</p>

<h2>Order variables</h2>
<p>You can choose from the following 11 variables to customize your store’s order numbers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Random number</li>
<li>Random letter</li>
<li>Random alphanumeric</li>
<li>Counter</li>
<li>Default Order ID</li>
<li>Year</li>
<li>Year short form</li>
<li>Month</li>
<li>Week</li>
