What this does
Use this setting to tell the system how delivery dates are written in Shopify.
This is needed so the date can be read correctly when orders are imported or exported.
Why this matters
Different stores may write dates in different ways.
For example, the date 01/12/2025 could mean:
1 December 2025 if the format is
dd/mm/yyyy12 January 2025 if the format is
mm/dd/yyyy
Choosing the correct format prevents the system from reading the wrong delivery date.
How to write the format
Use:
ddfor daymmfor monthyyyyfor a 4-digit yearyyfor a 2-digit year
Examples
dd/mm/yyyy = 15/02/2025
mm/dd/yyyy = 02/15/2025
yyyy-mm-dd = 2025-02-15
d/m/yy = 5/2/25
Default
If this field is left empty, the system will use:
dd/mm/yyyy
