How to Make Invoice and Order Number Match in Woocommerce

An invoice number is used to distinguish one invoice from another. Thus each invoice should possess a unique number. When you match order number with the invoice number, it is a lot easier to remember it. You will not have to deal with a string of identification numbers by keeping both the same.

By using WebToffee’s PDF Invoices & Packing Slip plugin for Woocommerce on your store site, you can match invoice number with the order number with only a few steps.
