Available Plugin Versions
Managing orders efficiently is crucial for any WooCommerce store. By default, WooCommerce assigns random order numbers, making it difficult to track and manage sales. The Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce plugin solves this problem by automatically setting sequential order numbers for new orders. This makes order tracking simpler, more organized, and easier to manage.
Why Use Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce?
1. Automatically Assigns Sequential Order Numbers
Once you install and activate the plugin, your WooCommerce orders will start following a sequential numbering system.
- If you have existing orders, the new order numbers will continue from the highest existing order number.
- If you have no previous orders, the plugin starts numbering from Order #1.
- No configuration is required—just install and activate the plugin, and it starts working automatically.
2. Perfect for Better Order Management
With sequential order numbers, store owners can:
- Easily track and manage orders in a logical sequence.
- Reduce confusion caused by random WooCommerce order numbers.
- Improve backend operations, making order lookup faster and more efficient.
3. Compatible with WooCommerce 3.9.4 and Newer
This plugin requires WooCommerce 3.9.4 or later, ensuring compatibility with the latest versions of WooCommerce and WordPress.
4. No Settings or Manual Setup Required
Unlike other WooCommerce extensions, this plugin works instantly. There are no settings to configure—just activate it, and WooCommerce will automatically assign sequential order numbers.
5. Handling Test Orders
If you’ve placed test orders before activating the plugin, those test orders must be permanently deleted (not just moved to trash) to ensure the sequence starts at Order #1.
Looking for More Features? Try Sequential Order Numbers Pro
If you need more customization options, such as:
- Custom order number prefixes and suffixes (e.g., WT101UK, WT102UK)
- Choosing a custom starting order number
- Advanced order tracking options
You can upgrade to Sequential Order Numbers Pro for WooCommerce, available in the WooCommerce Store.
Developer-Friendly & Easy Integration
For developers who want to integrate sequential order numbers with payment gateways or third-party plugins, simply replace $order->id with:
phpCopyEdit$order->get_order_number()
This ensures compatibility with WooCommerce core and any plugin that modifies order numbers.
Conclusion
The Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce plugin is a must-have for any store owner who wants a clean, organized, and structured order management system. With its automatic functionality, easy installation, and seamless integration, it helps streamline WooCommerce operations without extra effort.
