This is a simple plugin that adds the ability to input external order id while placing order. The entered value is then visible in order details both in the admin panel and on the user order details.
Add the repository into your composer.json:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/AlekMosingiewicz/external-order-id"
}
]and type composer require alekmosingiewicz/external-order-id.
