Hi,
I want to have each sale numbered IE: 1 – 100 so each time someone buys something they get an emailed a numbered sales invoice. Can this be done with eStore please.

Wouldn’t that be a duplication of the transaction ID number that PayPal issues? The reason I ask is because, that is the only number that carries any legal weight. Or did you have something else in mind?
Yes I do. I want to do a competition…each sale = the number of the draw. IE: We will use 1 – 1,000 and then when that is complete we will go back to the beginning. We want a simple numbering system….not a paypal one which is very long – too hard for us to keep track of.
Thanks

I was just studying the database structures used by eStore, to see if such a thing was easily possible. Unfortunately, eStore’s database tables only track sales on a per product granularity; as opposed to a per sales transaction granularity. Once PayPal approves a sale, the transaction is broken down by product, and recorded that way in the database.
As a suggestion, for an alternative way to do this, how about putting some kind of contact/entry form on the Thank You page, which is at the sales transaction level? When the entry form is submitted, you might be able to track by date/time of submission. And if the plugin that runs the form allows it, you might be able to get your consequtive numbering that way as well.
