Default Re: Order ID Random Incrementation...

Customers want to do business with a reputable company. If they appear to be the only person buying from you, they may start wondering why they are your only customer. You can't assume a customer will be understanding and give you the benefit of the doubt just because you are a new business starting up.

In addition, with sequential order numbers your competitor can easily find out how much volume you are doing if they wanted to.

You may want to use the random mod during the startup of your store. After you get a steady inflow of sales, you can change it back. Your accountant should understand as long as you can account for everything.
