Coupons timezone

I'm using the coupon scheduling feature (Start Date & Time / End Date & Time) and I need to understand which timezone is used when these fields are evaluated.

Specifically:

  1. Does FluentCart use the WordPress timezone setting (Settings > General) to interpret the coupon start/end times?
  2. Or does it use UTC, the server timezone, or something else?

This matters a lot to me because I run time-sensitive promotions that must expire at a precise local time. If the timezone reference isn't clear, I risk the coupon expiring too early or too late for my audience.

Thank you for clarifying this.

while saving to database it uses UTC, what you see in the UI it uses your system timezone translated from UTC. So, It always evaluates UTC. Hope that helped

Sarkar Ripon Thank you for the clarification.

One follow-up question: when you say "your system timezone", do you mean:

  • The timezone set in WordPress settings (Settings > General > Timezone)?
  • Or the timezone of my browser / local machine?
