But is it possible to change that number in the backend Where the orders are listed? I would prefer to have the new order and invoice numbers stored in the database with the user information. Is that possible? Is there a way to add custom user info in the order and invoice formats?

Is this possible with HE?")* Hello, Okay ; you want to change the order number format ! Because you were talking about add information to the invoices I thought that you wanted to customized the invoices. So, yes in HikaShop Essential you can change the format for the "order number" and "invoice number". And you can use a special tag to access to user data, as you wrote: Code: {user user_vat} Now if you want to use something from a user custom field, you need to replace "user_vat" but the namekey of your custom field. The namekey is also called "column name" : [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ield-form.html#infos](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/10-documentation/hikashop/42-hikashop-field-form.html#infos) Afterwards, please note that when you change the format, it will not affect the old orders and you need to create new orders to see the result.

Is this possible with HE?")* Thx for the info. It works fine for the order number but it fails for the invoice number. This is the format I gave to both of the numbers : Order number : Code: {user user_type} - {date format="y m"} {id size="6"} Invoice number : Code: {user user_type} - {date format="y m"} {order_id size="6"} For the invoice number, Code: {user user_type} doesn't output anything. Is there a workaround? Also adding the user info gives an error on the checkout end step (after payement) : Code: Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$order_user_id in SOMETHING_HERE\administrator\components\com_hikashop\helpers\helper.php on line 336 I'm testing this out with the cheque payement method.

Change the code: Code: $userClass = hikashop_get('class.user'); $data->customer = $userClass->get($data->order_user_id); to: Code: $order_user_id = 0; if(isset($data->order_user_id)) { $order_user_id = $data->order_user_id; } elseif(isset($data->old->order_user_id)) { $order_user_id = $data->old->order_user_id; } elseif(isset($data->order_id)) { $orderClass = hikashop_get('class.order'); $orderData = $orderClass->get($data->order_id); $order_user_id = $orderData->order_user_id; } if($order_user_id) { $userClass = hikashop_get('class.user'); $data->customer = $userClass->get($order_user_id); } in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php and that will fix the notice message and you'll be able to use the user tags in the invoice number format setting.
