Default Re: Order ID Random Incrementation...

Amazon.com uses random order IDs.

The order # for the cart doesn't have to be anything more than a reference number. Your accounting software software can (should?) be sequential, but it really doesn't matter, if you can generate a report...

You can set the randomizer to small numbers or large numbers... doesn't really matter, if the purpose is simply "reference numbers" -- but check with your state or country trade office if you want to be certain. In the US, sequential reference numbers for orders is not law. It may be law in some countries.
