How does Orb generate invoice numbers?

Last updated: August 28, 2024

Invoice numbers in Orb consists of two parts separated by a dash:

  1. A randomly generated string

  2. A sequentially increasing number starting at "1" that increments with each issued invoice

<Customer's randomly generated invoice prefix>-<sequentially increasing invoice number>

Configuring Invoice Number Prefixes

You can customize how Orb generates invoice number prefixes for your account. There are two options available:

  1. Use a single prefix for the entire account

  2. Use a unique prefix for each customer

To configure this setting:

  1. Go to your Account Settings

  2. Look for the "Invoice Number" section

  3. Choose your preferred option

This configuration allows you to maintain consistency in your invoice numbering system while transitioning from Stripe subscription billing to Orb billing with Stripe payment processing.
