Reset Invoice ID

After weeks of testing, your first real customer shouldn’t get an invoice number left over from test orders. Reset Invoice ID lets you reset invoice numbering in Ultimate Membership Pro, so the next order starts from 1 or from a number you choose.

Each order code is your prefix plus a six-digit order number, for example IUMP000004, and that code is the invoice number. The add-on sets where the order number continues from.

Reset invoice numbering to 1 or a custom value

• Back to 1. With your test orders cleared, click Reset and the next order gets IUMP000001.
• Start from your own number. Enter a value such as 1000 and click Reset Custom: the next order gets IUMP001000.
• Existing invoices stay as they are. The reset sets only the number the next new order receives. Orders and invoices you already have keep their codes.
• Your prefix is kept. The letters in front of the number stay as set in your payment settings.
• Made for a clean start. Clear your test orders with Remove Dummy Data, then reset, and launch day begins at number one.

How Reset Invoice ID works

1. Clear your test orders, for example with the Remove Dummy Data add-on.
2. Switch on Reset Invoice ID in Ultimate Membership Pro.
3. Click Reset to start from 1, or enter a starting number and click Reset Custom.
4. Place a test order, or wait for the first real one, and check its code in Payment History.

The reset runs as soon as you click, so do it right before launch, before you issue real invoices. Step-by-step setup is in the Reset Invoice ID guide.

When to reset invoice numbering

• Before launch. You tested checkout with real gateways and sample orders, and you want the first paying member to get the first invoice number.
• A numbering range you prefer. Start at 1000 so your invoice numbers look established from day one.

For example, a coaching club removes its test orders with Remove Dummy Data and clicks Reset. Its first real order, Pro Monthly at $19, gets the code IUMP000001. With Reset Custom and 1000, the same order would get IUMP001000.

Works well with

• Remove Dummy Data, to clear test orders and other sample data before you reset.
• Export Orders To CSV, to keep a copy of your orders first.
• Invoices and taxes, the printable invoices where the number appears.
