Solution: Custom Order Number Based On Customers Initials
The code extracts the initial letters from the first and last names of the customers linked to the order. It then capitalizes them to create the customer’s initials. After that, it generates a random 5-digit number and combines the initials and the random number with a hyphen in between.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_number', 'ts_custom_order_number', 1, 2 );
function ts_custom_order_number( $order_id, $order ) {
$first_name = $order->get_billing_first_name();
$last_name = $order->get_billing_last_name();
// Get the initials of both first and last names
$initials = strtoupper( substr( $first_name, 0, 1 ) . substr( $last_name, 0, 1 ) );
// Generate a random 5-digit number
$random_number = str_pad( mt_rand( 10000, 99999 ), 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );
return $initials . '-' . $random_number;
}
