General General Questions

I would like to make our orders start from a random high number like 2321.



We have put through the site various test orders and when an order is placed at the moment wa are only on order #9.



I would like an easy and quick way of forwarding the counter please.



We have just started marketing our site and dont want it to appear brand new to customers.

Not for shure which table exactly gathers the order info (I’m trying to get the cs-cart trial running myself) but you can have the ID column (where the order ID is in) start with any initial value. I know from experience with MSSQL you can use “Indentity Seed” to start your ID from any given value.

There is “Initial order ID value” setting on “Settings” page in the back-end. Set its value to i.e. 2321 and the next order ID will be that number.

Note, that the value of the setting should be more than max placed order ID, otherwise it won’t work.
