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.
Why are WooCommerce order numbers not in sequential order?
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.

Easy to use and perfect
Works just fine. Does the job perfectly.
We had some other plugin for numbering our orders before which did a marginal job and had far fewer features. This plugin works extremely well and has been 100% problem free. Very pleased.
This is very nice plugin for some free features.
Thanks.
