Document Numbering
Number patterns with tokens, sequential or order-number mode, yearly or monthly resets and the editable next number, per document type.
Updated 2026-10-18
Pattern
Write a pattern with tokens: {seq} (the counter, zero-padded to the width you set), {order_number}, {order_name}, {YYYY}, {YY}, {MM}, {DD}. Everything else prints as written. INV-{YYYY}-{seq} gives INV-2026-00042.
Two modes
- Sequential: the pattern contains
{seq}; numbers are gap-free and allocated once per order. - Order number: the number is derived from the Shopify order number or name, with your prefix and date tokens; no counter.
Reset period
Never, yearly or monthly. A new period starts at 1.
Next number
Shows the live counter. Raise it to continue a sequence from a previous system; it cannot go below the highest number already issued.
Per document type
Invoices and estimates each have their own tab, pattern and counter.
