How do I configure the Date Format? – Arcadier

To configure the date format, access your admin portal, then Settings > General > Date Format.

By default, the date format is Day: DD / Month: MM / Year: YYYY (13/04/2021). To change how you want your marketplace to present the date format, click on the pencil icon to change the date type and format.

You are able to change the date type to day, month or year. And the date format to any of the following below.

Date format:

Day

Month

Year

Day without leading zero

For days 1 - 9, show single-digit (e.g. 1 - 9)
For other days, show double digits

Month without leading zero

For months Jan - Sep, show as a single digit (1 - 9)
For the other months, show double digits (10 - 12)

Years to show the last 2 digits only (e.g. 2020 will show 20)

Day with leading zero

For days 1 - 9, show double digits (e.g. 01 - 09)

For months Jan - Sep, they will still show as double digits (01 - 09)
For the other months, show double digits

In Arcadier, we give you the flexibility of changing the date format to anything you want, for example, MM/MM/MM (month, month, month). However, we will only be including the commonly used date formats in our testing routine. Which includes:

Day / Month / Year
Month / Day / Year
Year / Month / Day

Once configured, all your buyer, merchant, and admin portal will reflect the date in the chosen date format. For email notification, it will also reflect in the chosen date format, but do take note that it will always reflect in the UTC timezone.
