By default, order and shipment status emails display order numbers that include the store ID before the order number. For example, if a customer's order number is 792, and your store ID is yhst-12345678911011, the order number would be displayed as yhst-12345678911011-792.

You may customize what's displayed before the order number in order and shipment status emails, using the Order Number Prefix field in the Shipment & Order Status section of Store Manager.
