Order ID Scheme allows you to choose between a Date and Timestamp based scheme and an numeric (incremental) orderID.
Home Configuration Shipping Order ID Scheme
UltraCart supports two types of order ID schemes: sequential and date-based. If you would like to have a sequential order ID scheme then select numeric, enter a starting number, and select the width of the ID (UltraCart will place leading zeroes in front of the number). Alternatively you can select an order ID scheme based upon the date and time the order is placed.
The date/time format is the UltraCart default and looks like the following:
DEMO-YYYYMMDDHHMM-RRRRRR
Where DEMO is the Merchant ID, YYYY is the year, MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour, MM is the minute, and RRRRR is a random unique identifier.
The alternate format, numerically increasing, uses your designated starting number that is incremented by one for each successful order.
