Timezone Display Style

Every time your widget displays a date and time โ€” slots, checkout summary, booking confirmation email โ€” it attaches your business's timezone. You choose whether it reads as a short abbreviation (PDT) or a long, spelled-out label (Pacific Daylight Time).

The Two Stylesโ€‹

StyleExampleWhen to use it
Short abbreviationApr 24, 09:00 PDTLocal audience that recognises the abbreviation
Long nameApr 24, 09:00 Pacific Daylight TimeInternational or out-of-town audience

Changing the Styleโ€‹

  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Booking widget โ†’ Widget settings tab.
  2. Scroll down to the Browsing & listings section and find Timezone label style.
  3. Choose Short abbreviation or Long name. The preview updates in place, and your change saves automatically.

Where the Label Appearsโ€‹

  • Every slot time on experience and rental detail pages
  • The cart summary โ€” per-item start times
  • The checkout confirmation page
  • The booking confirmation email
  • The booking reminder email โ€” sent 24 hours before
  • The cancellation email โ€” if the refund window has passed

Picking the right style once here saves you from re-writing it into every email template.

Why This Existsโ€‹

Most FareHarbor / competitor widgets show times with no timezone at all โ€” which silently causes customer confusion when someone in New York books a tour that starts at 09:00 in Cape Town. EquipDash always shows the timezone, so the customer never has to guess.

"Powered by EquipDash"โ€‹

Below the timezone setting there's a small "Powered by EquipDash" line in the widget footer. It's on by default and can't be turned off on any plan tier. It's a single small link โ€” it doesn't affect your branding anywhere else on the widget.
