Smart Sequence Order Number

Smart Sequence Order Number allows store administrators to define unique order number formats, incorporating prefixes, suffixes, and custom patterns to meet specific business needs. It ensures that order numbers are sequentially generated, eliminating gaps and maintaining consistency. New WooCommerce orders will be generated in a sequential, linear format instead of random order number generations. Admin can also set an increment counter, which will generate the next order number in the form of set increment. This plugin also allows the functionality of tracking orders which will help the store customers to track their order status.

3. Larger the order number, larger will be the length for example if the order number starts from 00001, this will be counted as 5 digit length and it will result in the sequence 00001, 00002, 00003 etc.
