Configuring Time Zones and Product Types for Your Store
You can set countries/regions where your store is located, time zones, and product types to meet your business needs.
Time Zones
There are more than 200 countries in the world, corresponding to different time standards, hence the concept of time zones.
SHOPLINE currently offers 92 time zones for your choice. It is recommended to select the time zone as needed for better operation.
Use of Time Zones
In the admin panel, many time-related actions and records need to be converted according to the time zone of the store.
You may need to take note of some common information. For example,
- Creation, payment, refund/return time of an order
- Assigned launch time of a product
- Operation by a staff member in the admin panel
- Data report over a specific period
Viewing and Modifying Time Zones
Here, you can view or modify time zones applied to your store:
- Settings > Basic Settings > Time zone
Winter / Summer Time
For winter/summer time, please take note on the following aspects:
- When you select the following time zone, it will not change with winter/summer time:
- America/Manaus -4
- America/Panama -5
- The SHOPLINE supports automatic switching along with the change of winter/summer time.
- Taking the order creation time as an example, only new orders are affected after the switching of winter/summer time. Existing orders will not be affected.
