I have set up three ZC stores, I was wondering if I can prefix the order numbers, like [sitename][ordernumber]
Is this possible?

Thanks.

Re: Can I prefix order numbers? Ex. sitename1234,

The order ids are stored in the database as intergers, which unfortunately means that they have to be numbers, and so contain no alpha characters.

You could alter your emails so that they add the name to the order number, but you'll have to do this for each email, rather than 1 global setting.

You could also set your order numbers to:

Store 1 1000

Store 2 200000

Store 3 300000

Then the order numbers will not overlap for a 100,000 orders :smile:
