Hi all

I have a question that is driving me CRAZY. I'm in Canada and want my dates to show as mm/dd/yy. I am using a MAC and have the date setup to how I want it in the operating system correctly, but in Safari, it shows as dd/mm/yy. But in Chrome it shows as the desired mm/dd/yy????? How can I fix Safari to display what I want it to display?

Hi there, @EllanasCafe 👋 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community! We are happy to hear from you!

Hmm... this is interesting indeed. Thanks for providing those screenshots! - visualizing the issue is much more helpful!

I found this specific Apple Thread that may be helpful in this situation, but may not work if you're using a few specific versions of Safari.

We would recommend reaching out directly to Apple on this one! Since they manage and run Safari specifically, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for taking the time to research a bit on this Joe. I had already found that thread and tried what is suggested to no improvement. Funny thing is , I have been using Square for a while now, and this just recently started doing this. Like the last week or two.

I'll reach out to Apple, but I suspect, they will bounce it back as a Square issue. Looks like it Chrome from now on for me.

Thanks for the quick reply, @EllenasCafe! I like where you landed, I think switching over to Google Chrome is best practice here. Our Dashboard software tends to orient itself best to Chrome.

Feel free to reach back out if anything else comes up! We are here to help.
