Hello everyone and thanks for your help,

I have a question about the maximum size that the order_id and order_number fields of the Order object can have.

I need it for the database structure creation of my App, because later i will use these data for my shipping references and i don’t know if these fields (order_id and order_number) will exced my carriers references lenght in future.

I hope I have explained myself correctly and that you can understand me.

Thank you very much!

Hey @Jabades , great question here in regards to planning for you database!

At the current time, on the Order object/resource: "order_id" could reach 20 characters and “order_number” 11 characters. Also worth noting is the "name" field on Order often confused with the order_number. This is a combination of order_number and unique user set prefix and/or suffix, and therefor could be longer than 11 characters.
