Using sequential invoice numbers

How to adjust the template code to get a sequential invoice number

Written by Bjorn Forsberg

The Shopify Order Printer app (in which our templates are used) does not support sequential invoice numbers by default. 

However, it is possible to do with a small change to the template code. The way to do it would be to find this code in your template:

{{ order_name }}

And replace it with:

#{{ order_number | minus: xxxx }}

Note: You must replace the xxxx in the above code with the correct number to start your sequence.

The order number starts at 1 for your first Shopify order, so you minus the needed number to get your correct number series.
