Custom Order Numbers for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   We were having an issue with the Custom Order Numbers plugin suddenly skipping order numbers. It had been working flawlessly for a couple of years. Reached out to support and they replied same-day. Investigated the site, made some suggestions. (It appears to have been a conflict with the “Disable Cart Fragments” plugin.) They continued to follow up and so far everything seems to be working as expected. Great plugin and excellent customer support. Thank you!

   Change your order numbers and say goodbye to order tracking.I’ve been reporting the error for two months and constantly giving me the runaround without solving the problem.It’s incredible that it breaks the main functionality of order numbers.Not recommended.

   In use since 2 years. The plugin uses meta data (keys like “alg_wc_custom_order_number”) in every order to enable custom order numbers. In this way it works with the rest of the software.

   This plugin is great – it’s simple does exactly what it’s supposed to. We’ve been using it to better organize / track the large number of orders we deal with. We had a slight issue with the plugin which I reached out to support about – via a simple back-and-forth they helped troubleshoot the issue and ultimately delivered a solution that dealt with the issue perfectly. Thanks Tyche team!

   When I found this plugin I was struck by the simplicity that is its strength, attention, simplicity in use and functions, it does not mean that it is worth little but that, whoever created it, has taken into account an element that is sometimes difficult to be achieved: immediate usability. In addition, in addition to the sequential numbering of orders, it also has the reset that can be set with different time intervals, I use the annual one for tax management in my country. I had a block on the sequence of the order numbers, but the support intervened and solved the problem immediately. Great job guys!
