Custom Start Number for Order Numbers in Magento 1.5

Question

How do I customise the starting number for orders, invoices etc in Magento 1.5?

Answer 1

There is actually a good extension for accomplish this task.

It allows you to customize the order ID in a lot of different way: for example you can use a combination of:

1. number like year,month,,day,hr,sec,
2. use a custom counter (you can decide the starting number )
3. a combination of all above methods
4. add some custom string in any position of the order ID

This is the ext. on Magento connect: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/custom-order-id-8210.html

I personally tried it and it very good ( works fine with all my payment methods and I had no issue at all )
