Order ID Schemes

There are two orderID schemes to choose from: "Date and Time based" and a sequential "Numeric" scheme.

Date and time based

The date and time based scheme is the default order ID scheme used by UltraCart when you create your account.

...

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).

The alternate format, numerically increasing, uses your designated starting number then increments upward one for each successful order.

An example numeric order ID with a staring number of one thousand and a width of ten would be: DEMO-0009103113

Info
  • UltraCart recommends selecting a significantly high starting number and a width of at least ten digits. Selecting a low starting number might give customers the indication that the online store has not been around for a long time or does not have a large volume of business.
  • Merchants should never reset the starting number lower than an existing order ID or a collision will occur.
