<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>Custom WooCommerce Order Statuses Completely Integrated into your Workflow</h2>
<p>The <strong>WooCommerce Order Status Manager</strong> allows you to create, edit, and delete custom order statuses and integrate them seamlessly into your WooCommerce order management flow. You can also edit core order statuses and trigger new order emails based on status changes.</p>
<p>Custom order statuses will be used in your orders list, and can even be integrated into the <strong>order actions</strong> or <strong>bulk actions</strong> for a completely seamless fulfillment workflow.</p>

<p>New <strong>order emails</strong> can also be triggered as an order status change notifier. You can trigger emails based on changes between custom statuses or core statuses so that customers and/or shop admins are always informed of order updates and changes.</p>

<h3>Add New Order Statuses</h3>
<p>You can add a new order status and select an icon to display in the orders list (which replaces the text badge for a status name). Action buttons can also be added if this will be used as “next status” by another status in your order flow. You can also add next statuses to determine which actions buttons should be displayed for this status.</p>
<figure id="attachment_826572" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-826572" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-status.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-826572" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-status.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager: Create a Status" width="950" height="594" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-826572" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Create a Status</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Edit Core Statuses</h3>
<p>You can edit a core WooCommerce order status to add “next statuses”. For example, you can add a custom status as a <em>next status</em> for “processing” orders, which will display your custom status action button for any processing order.</p>
<p>This makes order management simple, fast, and easy to use, as custom statuses are completely integrated into the orders workflow.</p>
<h3>Add New Order Emails</h3>
<p>New order emails can be added based on order status changes, including changes with custom order statuses. When these emails are added, they can be edited and enabled in your WooCommerce email lists, or the template can be overridden in your theme for greater control over the content.</p>
<figure id="attachment_155858" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-155858" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-email.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-155858" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/woocommerce-order-status-manager-new-email.png" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager new email" width="550" height="257" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-155858" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Create an email</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Display Status Information to Customers</h3>
<p>Customers can be frustrated by order management when they don’t know where their orders are. While your statuses are meant to help in your fulfillment workflow, displaying a status like “Manufactured” or “Assembling” doesn’t tell customers anything.</p>
<p>You can now set a description for any status (including core statuses!) that will be shown to customers when they mouse over the order status.</p>
<figure id="attachment_159153" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-159153" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-recent-orders.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-159153" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/woocommerce-order-status-manager-recent-orders.png?w=550" alt="WooCommerce Order Status Manager Orders List" width="550" height="380" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-159153" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Customer View</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Complete Order Status Management</h3>
<p>Rather than adding one-off statuses that don’t integrate with the rest of your emails, statuses, or fulfillment process, you can now completely embed custom statuses into your order management scheme. Use custom icons, action buttons, and new emails to tailor orders to your store and helpt to automate your order management.</p>
