How can I customize my order ID serial number in Shopify?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: A merchant migrating from Wix wants to replace Shopify’s default numeric order IDs (starting at 1001) with a custom alphanumeric sequence (e.g., BE637, BE638, BE639) for all future orders.

Proposed approach: Use third-party apps from the Shopify App Store to customize order numbers. One highlighted option is Cleverific Order Editor.

Details on app capability: The app provides an edit option beside the auto-generated order number, allowing changes such as adding letters, adjusting digit length, or even using no numbers. It’s suggested for creating unique markers for different order types.

Status and open questions: No native Shopify setting was provided in the thread. The response doesn’t confirm automated, sequential increments for future orders; it describes manual edit capability. The need for automatic sequencing remains unverified.

Notes: An image of an order ID was attached but is not essential to understanding the solution.

Hi Support Team,

Is ther a way to remove the default Order ID format, which starts from 1001.

Since I have shifted my website from wix to shopify, I want order id serial number as per my choice like BE637.

All the upcoming orders id’s should be like BE637, BE638, BE639 and so on…

Thank you

Hey @Vbhanumurali ,

Great question!

There are several apps available in the Shopify App Store that allow you to customize your order numbers. The most popular one is:

  • Cleverific Order Editor: In this app, there’s an edit option right beside your automatically generated order number. You can edit this number in any way, including adding letters, reducing or increasing the number of digits, or not using numbers at all. You can use this option to easily create unique markers for custom orders, wholesale orders, and more in the same Shopify store.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
