At 50,000 active installs it has a solid mid-market footprint, which is why the popularity score lands at 70/30 rather than a ceiling value.

Update Freshness

25/25

It was updated 2026-06-23, just before this review, and lists compatibility with WordPress 7.0, which is why maintenance hits a perfect 100/25.

User Rating

15/15

145 reviewers gave it 98/100, an unusually high rating that reflects strong day-to-day satisfaction from real store owners.

Support Health

8/15

With only 1 support thread on record, the 100% resolution rate is statistically thin and the 50/15 score reflects that the sample size is too small to be meaningful.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested up to WordPress 7.0 and requiring only PHP 5.6 plus WordPress 3.0.1, it earns a full 100/15 for compatibility across a very wide range of hosting environments.

What It Does

Sequential Order Number for WooCommerce replaces WooCommerce's default random order IDs with a custom, sequential numbering scheme that you can configure with prefixes, suffixes, and starting values. It applies the new numbering to both new orders and, optionally, existing historical orders, and it also offers customizable invoice number formatting for cleaner accounting records.

Who It's For

This plugin suits WooCommerce store owners who issue invoices, file taxes, or reconcile orders against bank statements and need contiguous, predictable order numbers rather than the scattered IDs WooCommerce generates by default. It is especially useful for high-volume retailers, wholesalers, subscription boxes, and multi-vendor operators where order auditing and professional invoice appearance matter.

Who Should Skip It

Stores that only process a handful of orders per month, or operators who never reference order numbers in accounting or legal contexts, will get little value from this plugin. Sites already running a dedicated invoicing or ERP plugin that handles its own sequential numbering should also avoid adding this to prevent duplicate numbering schemes.

The Bottom Line

With an overall quality score of 83.24/100, near-perfect ratings from 145 users, and a recent update dated 2026-06-23, this is a dependable choice for any WooCommerce store that needs clean, sequential order and invoice numbers. The only real caveat is the tiny support thread volume, which makes long-term support responsiveness hard to judge. For most stores that need this functionality, it is a safe and worthwhile install.

Pick this lighter alternative if you only need a free, no-frills renumbering tool and do not require the prefix, suffix, and invoice customization this plugin provides.
