Custom order_numer with prefix

  • Hi,

    I want to edit the way my order_number is shown on the invoice but I have absolutely no idea how to do that. I assume I need to edit the template-functions.php.

    The ordernumber I am looking for is as follows:
    A prefix which contains the letters “RL”
    The year of the order_date (yyyy)
    The ordernumber (but with preceding zeros if applicable)

    For example: RL2016004072.

    In the example above the order_number is 4072. I want two zero’s preceding that number. If the order_number is higer than 9999 (10000) I only want one zero preceding. And if the order number is higher than 99999 (100000) I want no zero’s preceding.

    I can do all the above in php but I have no idea how to integrate it in WC.

    Thanks for the help.

    Rob

    Hi! You can use the woocommerce_order_number filter. This is somewhat outside of the scope of the PDF invoice plugin (since it’s WooCommerce itself that you want to change), but here’s an example to get you on track:

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_number', 'woocommerce_order_number_format', 10, 2 );
function woocommerce_order_number_format( $order_number, $order ) {
	$order_number = ltrim($order_number, '#'); // remove hash

	// add your prefix, padding etc.

	return $order_number
}

    Hope that helps!
