Admin Columns vs Sequential Order Numbers for WooCommerce

Instead of the limited default list table, you get to display the information you actually need – like custom fields, featured images, taxonomies, file data and more. Trusted by 100,000+ WordPress sites worldwide. With a simple drag-and-drop interface you can: Add any column to posts, pages, users, media and comments Reorder and resize columns to match your workflow Choose from 200+ column types including custom fields, taxonomies and file data Display rich metadata such as images, dates, colors and relational fields Create clean overviews for even the most complex websites It works for any site from simple blogs to large WooCommerce stores.

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. This plugin requires WooCommerce 3.9.4 or newer. No configuration needed! The plugin is so easy to use, there aren’t even any settings. Activate it, and orders will automatically become sequential. 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. If you’ve placed test orders, you must trash and 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). Support Details 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). Sequential Order Numbers Pro 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 WooCommerce Store. More Details See the product page for full details. Check out the Pro Version. View more of SkyVerge’s free WooCommerce extensions View all SkyVerge WooCommerce extensions Interested in contributing? You can find the project on GitHub and contributions are welcome 🙂 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 $order->id when storing order data, reference: $order->get_order_number() 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. Some other notes to help developers: Get an order from order number If you want to access the order based on the sequential order number, you can do so with a helper method: $order_id = wc_sequential_order_numbers()->find_order_by_order_number( $order_number ); This will give you the order’s ID (post ID), and you can get the order object from this. Get the order number If you have access to the order ID or order object, you can easily get the sequential order number based on WooCommerce core functions. $order = wc_get_order( $order_id ); $order_number = $order->get_order_number();
