What is an order number?

An order number is a unique identifier given to a specific purchase or transaction made by a customer. It is typically assigned by the seller or retailer in order to track orders and shipments. Order numbers may also include important information such as the date of purchase, the customer's name, and details about the products ordered. They are used to confirm and track the status of an order, from the time it is placed until it is delivered or picked up. Order numbers are essential for both businesses and customers to maintain accurate records of purchases and to assist with customer support and service.
