As soon as you add an item to your cart, the system will create a new orderid for you.
There is nothing nefarious or dubious about this practice, and is quite common in the industry.
Not according to Woocommerce
documentation. The order-ID is created when the checkout process is complete.
But I agree nothing nefarious.
I wasn't implying that anything was up with that invoicing process, other that to point out that if ex: 1000 invoice numbers were created and 200 were cancelled due to ordering issues than there my be only 800 actual orders placed when all the cancelled orders are purged. Im saying this for the ones who trying to figure out where they may stand in the order que and batch of chips based ont their invoice number.. I by all means am giving terrahash the benefit of the doubt in what they say they can deliver on, we'll see, time will tell
Correct, and I am suggesting that there may be allot less then this.
At 9:30am i added 2 items to my cart, due to me forgetting my paypal password, i had to wait until i got homr from the office to commit my orders. When i signed in at home at least 6 hours later i didnt realise that i had an outstanding order in my account and went and purchased just 1. when i was redirected to my account after paying for the 1, i saw that i had the other 2 in my account unpaid for (from my previous attempt on my iphone at the office), i said fuck it and paid for those as well.
my order numbers are only about 500 apart
Ya was a bit of a nightmare, I finally got paypal on the phone to find out why my orders werent going through, and they really couldnt see anything either,,,other then just good ol processing overload! ,,,,anyways it cost me a spot from 502 I think it was or 503,,cant remember now....so ya i was a bit aggravated. my order went thru at 12:38 ,, i hit the order button at 12:04...so such is life. Just hope they get crack'n on it! lol ..... wow 500 apart? that will be interesting to see,,my 2 were 29 apart (paid with 2 diff cc)
