Short Confirmation Codes

Short confirmation code plugin for Sitecore Experience Commerce

This plugin provides six character confirmation codes (configurable), randomly generated, and tracked in the commerce database to avoid conflicts. Shorter codes are easier to communicate over support calls and for some clients may be more convenient than the 25 character confirmations that are provided out of the box.

Technical notes

• As a precatution against codes being reused ("collisions"), the plugin creates tracking entities.
• The code checks for and creates tracking entities within a transaction, to ensure uniqueness.
• If a unique code is not generated in the allowed number of tries (default 3), a 32 character guid is returned.
• The default setting uses 26 characters, and a six character code, allowing for 308,915,776 possible codes.
