 * just to make sure i understood you right:
 * – you want to number the invoices, starting with the first order you received?
   wouldn’t then the invoice number be the same as the order number?
 * – or do you want to number the invoice for a single customer, for example if 
   you need to send the invoice multiple times?

 * Hi,
 * I’m also looking for a sequential invoice numbering.
    The order number is not
   equal to the invoice number when viewed from a legal perspective (here in austria)
   cause invoice numbers have to be sequential. but an order number is any order
   and I think, from within probably 15 orders just one get fulfilled. I even would
   like to see the possibility to change the invoice number manually while finalising
   the invoice, in the case a customer place two or more subsequent orders and I
   put them together in one invoice.
 * any ideas?
 * Thank you
    Tom

 * ok i see, but i think, at first someone else should create a separate plugin 
   that allows you to generate and edit an invoice number for your orders (unfortunately
   i do not know any). then wcdn could use the number, display and print it.
 * please remember, this plugin just prints out data that already exists. wherever
   its was created by wordpress, woocommerce or any other plugin. if you need additional
   data you first need a plugin that creates it for you.
 * but you could still use the sequential order numbers plugin as promoted in the
   wcdn settings. like this your invoice numbers (or better said, you should use
   the order number as invoice number) will also be sequential.
