Custom Order Number for Magento 2 — Branded Order & Invoice IDs

"Order 000000001" tells your customers — and competitors — too much

Magento's default order numbers are sequential and obvious. They make your store look brand-new, they leak your order volume to anyone who places two orders a week apart, and they're hard for your team to read on the phone. A proper order number does the opposite: it carries your brand, encodes the date and store, and looks like a business that's been trading for years. Custom Order Number lets you design exactly that — for orders, invoices, shipments and credit memos — from a simple template.

What you'll use it for

• Look established — start at any number and brand every ID, so a new store doesn't advertise that its first order was yesterday.
• Match your accounting — make invoice and credit-memo numbers follow the format your bookkeeper or ERP expects.
• Read numbers aloud — a dated, padded, prefixed ID is far easier for support to quote and for customers to find.
• Separate your stores — give each store view its own counter and store code so numbers never collide or confuse.

How it works

The variables you can use

Combine them however you like. Invoices, shipments and credit memos can each mirror the order number (optionally swapping a prefix — turn ORD- into INV-) or run on a completely independent format with their own counter, padding and reset. A timezone offset makes sure date-based resets roll over at your local midnight, not the server's.

Guaranteed unique — even at peak
