Why my order IDs look like #1000X after migration to Magento?

Why do my order IDs look like #1000X after data migration to Magento?

If you've migrated your store to Magento and notice that your order IDs have changed to a format like #1000X, this is due to Magento's specific order numbering system. This behavior is normal and ensures proper system functioning within the Magento platform.

Understanding Magento Order ID Structure After Data Migration

Magento's order ID structure is designed with flexibility in mind. The leading number (e.g., '1' in #100035) represents the Store ID, while the subsequent numbers (e.g., '35') are the incremented order ID. Therefore, all new orders created directly in your Magento store will follow this pattern.

When you choose the "Preserve Order IDs" option during your data migration with Cart2Cart, the tool attempts to retain your original order IDs. However, to ensure compatibility with Magento's system, Cart2Cart adjusts the migrated order IDs to fit the Magento pattern. This means that an original order ID of #X becomes #1000X after migration. This adjustment is crucial for Magento to correctly process and manage orders.

This adjustment is part of ensuring a seamless and functional ecommerce migration process. Cart2Cart takes care of these technical details so you can focus on growing your business on the Magento platform.
