Is each Shopify store's order code unique?

[Marta-uo]

Hello,

I need to know if the order code in Shopify is unique for each store or 2 Shopify stores can have the same order code. I understand that yes they can, but to confirm it.

Thank you.

What do you mean by order "code".

Do you mean the order ID as used by the api and what you see in the url when in an orders admin then yes that is always unique as a platform UUID.

https://admin.shopify.com/store/storename/orders/1234567

If you mean the order name i.e. #0023 , yes multiple stores can use the same order name.

Think about it, if a merchant has an order #0023 should no other store ever be able to use that order name, no.
