Once the date format is configured, it applies to your entire store, not just your account. All staff members using POS Time Tracker in Shopify Admin will see dates and times in the selected format.


Where to Change the Date Format

  1. Log in to Shopify Admin.

  2. Open the POS Time Tracker app.

  3. Go to Settings.

  4. Locate the Date Format section (near the Timezone setting).

  5. Select your preferred date format from the list.

The change takes effect immediately and will update how dates and times appear across all reports and time entries.


Available Date Format Options

Below is the list of formats you can choose from:

Example

Description

December 14th 2024, 2:30:45 pm

Full date with time (default)

2024-12-14 14:30:45

ISO date with time

12/14/2024 2:30 pm

US format with time

14/12/2024 14:30

European format with time

Dec 14, 2024 2:30 pm

Short month with time

Sat, Dec 14, 2024 2:30 pm

Day of week with time


Default Date Format

If you don’t select a date format, the default will be:

December 14th 2024, 2:30:45 pm EST

This default includes the time zone abbreviation (based on your store’s timezone setting).


Timezone Still Applies: Changing the date format does not affect your store’s timezone setting; it only changes how the date and time are displayed.

Time Inputs Use Browser Settings: Time input fields (such as when selecting clock-in or clock-out times) are controlled by each user’s browser or device system settings. This may affect how the time picker appears, independent of the selected date format.
