How Do I Add an Order Number in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 11:06 am

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, you may want to add an order number to each order. This can be helpful for tracking purposes, or if you need to reference a specific order for customer service.

Adding an order number is easy to do with the help of a plugin. We recommend the WooCommerce Sequential Order Numbers plugin, which is free and well-rated. Once you install and activate the plugin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Sequential Order Numbers to configure the plugin settings.

On the plugin settings page, you can choose whether to use sequential or random order numbers, and how many digits long you want the numbers to be. You can also specify a starting number, which can be useful if you’re migrating from another eCommerce platform and need to keep your existing order numbers.

Once you’ve configured the plugin settings, each new order on your WooCommerce store will have a unique order number automatically assigned to it. You can view the order number by going to WooCommerce > Orders. The order number will be displayed in the Order Details column.

If you need help adding an order number in WooCommerce, follow the instructions in this article.

With the help of a plugin, you can easily add unique order numbers to each WooCommerce order.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, you may want to add an order number to each order. This can help you keep track of your orders, and it can also help your customers keep track of their orders.

However, before you add an order number to each order, you should be aware of a few things. First, if you are using WooCommerce with a payment gateway that does not support order numbers (such as PayPal), the order number will not be visible to your customers. Second, if you are using WooCommerce with a shipping method that does not support order numbers (such as USPS), the order number will not be visible to your customers.

If you still want to add an order number to each order, you can do so by going to the WooCommerce settings page and selecting the “Orders” tab. Then, click on the “Add Order Number” button.

You will then be able to enter a prefix and suffix for your order numbers. Be sure to click on the “Save Changes” button when you are finished.
