You're right that turning off the custom numbers will reset it back to zero, @Hannah. I've got a workaround for you to continue the old numbering format you're using.
If you've disabled the custom numbers, turn them back on again. After that, create a new invoice and enter the following number from the old chain.
Once done, turn off the Custom transaction numbers again. It should pick up the succeeding number moving forward.
I also recommend sending feedback requests to our Product Development Team. They will evaluate these to include in future updates. I'll show you how:
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Under the Profile column, select Feedback.
- Enter your suggestion, then click Next.
You'll want to track your suggestion through this website. You can also visit our blog to keep up with our recent events and developments.

Hi, I've tried that but as soon as the custom numbers are turned off again, it resets to zero still.

Hi hannah-casswell-,
This is currently working as designed and the custom number would need to be edited manually after switching back on for the system to pick this back up. We recommend leaving feedback through the option above so that our development team can look at updating this in the future as we do see it can be an inconvenience.

So, are you saying there is in fact no way of enabling invoices created through WIX to pick up our current sequence?

Yes, you are correct, @Hannah. There isn't a way to pick the current sequence number for invoices that's been transferred from WIX to QuickBooks Online.
These normally happen when invoices come from a third-party application. It usually generates a new serial number for invoices.
With that, I suggest sending feedback to our product developer, as recommended by @GeorgiaC. This way, they can add this feature on the next software update. You can also follow the detailed steps provided by @JamaicaA above on how to send feedback.
