<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin requires WooCommerce 3.9.4 or newer.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>No configuration needed! The plugin is so easy to use, there aren’t even any settings. Activate it, and orders will automatically become sequential.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you’ve placed test orders, you must trash <strong>and</strong> 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).</p>
<h4>Support Details</h4>
<p>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).</p>
<h4>Sequential Order Numbers Pro</h4>
<p>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 (ie, you’d prefer something like WT101UK, WT102UK, etc) please consider our premium Sequential Order Numbers Pro for WooCommerce plugin, which is available in the <a href="http://woocommerce.com/products/sequential-order-numbers-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">WooCommerce Store</a>.</p>

If you’d like to make your payment gateway compatible with Sequential Order Numbers, or other plugins that filter the order number, please make one small change. Instead of referencing <code>$order->id</code> when storing order data, reference: <code>$order->get_order_number()</code></p>
<p>This is compatible with WooCommerce core by default, as the order number is typically equal to the order ID. However, this will also let you be compatible with plugins such as ours, as the order number can be filtered (which is what we do to make it sequential), so using order number is preferred.</p>
<p>Some other notes to help developers:</p>
<h4>Get an order from order number</h4>
<p>If you want to access the order based on the sequential order number, you can do so with a helper method:</p>
<pre><code>$order_id = wc_sequential_order_numbers()->find_order_by_order_number( $order_number );
</code></pre>
<p>This will give you the order’s ID (post ID), and you can get the order object from this.</p>
<h4>Get the order number</h4>
<p>If you have access to the order ID or order object, you can easily get the sequential order number based on WooCommerce core functions.</p>
<pre><code>$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$order_number = $order->get_order_number();
</code></pre>


Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce

This plugin extends WooCommerce by setting sequential order numbers for new orders.

WebToffee

<p>The Sequential Order Number for WooCommerce plugin helps organize order numbers in custom formats using prefixes, suffixes, starting numbers and increments. This allows you to format or rearrange both existing and new WooCommerce order numbers into a clear consecutive sequence, making order tracking simple and consistent.</p>
<p>Why are WooCommerce order numbers not in sequential order?</p>
<p>The reason is quite simple! WordPress uses a single ID system for posts, pages, and media files. WooCommerce uses the same ID system to generate order numbers. This means that when a new WooCommerce order is created, it may not always receive the next number in sequence because that ID may have already been used by another post or page. As a result, WooCommerce order numbers can appear to skip or break sequence.</p>
<p>However, using this custom order number plugin, you will always get sequential numbers for your WooCommerce orders.</p>
<p>When you activate the sequential order number plugin, you can easily organize WooCommerce order numbers in a custom sequence. If your store has no existing orders, numbering will begin at 1 or at any custom starting number you set. If you already have existing orders, the plugin will continue the sequence from the latest order number.</p>
