App invoice numbers

The App invoice numbers feature allows you to generate custom invoice numbers that better suit your accounting practices. Unlike Shopify's default sequential order numbers, you can configure a numbering system that resets periodically, such as at the start of each year or quarter.

Access the menu

You can find this feature by navigating to Settings > App invoice numbers within the app's main menu.

Enabling and disabling the feature

At the top of the page, you will find a toggle switch. Use this switch to enable or disable the custom invoice numbering functionality for all your orders.

Customize app invoice numbers

Starting date

This is the most important setting, as it determines when the app should start a new invoice numbering sequence.

For example:

• Yearly Reset: If you want your invoice numbers to reset every year, enter the first day of the year (e.g., January 1, 2024).
• Quarterly Reset: If you want to reset numbers each quarter, enter the first day of the quarter (e.g., April 1, 2024).

Starting invoice number

Enter the number you want the sequence to start with after the Starting date. For example, you might want the first invoice of the new period to be 1 or 1001.

Prefix

A prefix is the text that appears before the invoice number. This is useful for including company names, codes, or other identifiers.

Example: To create an invoice number like COMPANY-1000-2025, you would enter COMPANY- in this field.

Suffix

A suffix is the text that appears after the invoice number. This is often used for the year or other tracking information.

Example: To create an invoice number like COMPANY-1000-2025, you would enter -2025 in this field.

Combining these fields, if you set:

• Starting invoice number: 1000
• Prefix: COMPANY-
• Suffix: -2025

The first invoice generated after the reset date will be COMPANY-1000-2025.
