What this setting controls
The timezone setting tells your booking system which IANA timezone to use for everything time-related: class start and end times, booking deadlines, report timestamps, and the trigger times for automated notifications. All times displayed to admins, instructors and customers are converted into this timezone before they appear on screen.
How to change the timezone
Go to Admin → Settings → Configuration → Timezone. Select your business timezone from the searchable dropdown — IANA names like Asia/Taipei, America/New_York, or Europe/London. Click Save.
The system also stores a corresponding offset value internally so historical times can be converted accurately.
Multiple locations: Timezone is business-wide — it applies to every location, even when Configuration is set per location. It can only be seen and changed when the location picker is set to All locations. When a single location is selected, the currency and timezone card is hidden and the page starts with that location's settings.
Auto-detection on first setup
During guided setup, the timezone is auto-detected from your browser using the Luxon library and pre-filled. Adjust it before saving if the detected zone is wrong for your business location.
Detection only fills the field when no timezone has been chosen yet, so if you leave guided setup part-way through and come back, the timezone you saved is kept rather than re-detected.
Note: changing the timezone later does not retroactively re-stamp existing bookings — they were created under the previous timezone. Only newly created bookings use the new value.
