Because the serial creation is also done during the "onAfterOrderUpdate" trigger, so that variable is filled at that moment. If your plugin is called before, you won't be able to access the data ; when serials are created/assigned. If the serials are already there (and the order status doesn't change), you will have to load the serials from the database. Loading the serials every time an HikaShop order is loaded would have some performance impacts. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

The $order->order_serials is empty Code: [order_serials] => stdClass Object ( [packs] => Array ( ) [serials] => Array ( ) How can I tell my plugin to wait for the hikashop serial plugin? For the moment I do a database query which works but if I understood it right I have the risk of a race condition...

But the trigger call doesn't apply that serial will be assigned or unassigned to the order ; thus the best for you would to be load the HikaSerial "order" class and call the function : loadSerialData($order_id) It will perform the loading in the database and return it.
