## 🎯 Why Set Up Localization?

Getting localization right in Fleetwire helps you:

* **Match Your Market**: Display dates, times, and currency in the format your customers expect.
* **Avoid Confusion**: Keep pickup/return times and emails aligned with your business time zone.
* **Look Professional**: Your store and communications feel native to your region.

|| **Note**: Localization affects your online store, email templates, and dashboard. Set these early so new listings and orders use the correct format from day one.

## 🛠 Step-by-Step: Localization Settings

Follow these steps to configure regional settings in Fleetwire.

### Step 1: Open Localization Settings

1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, click **Settings** in the left sidebar.
2. Under **General**, select **Localization**.
3. You’ll see options for **Date & time**, **Currency**, and related preferences.

### Step 2: Configure Date and Time

1. Set your **time zone** (e.g., America/New_York) so pickup/return times and emails use the correct local time.
2. Choose your **date format** (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY).
3. Choose your **time format** (12-hour or 24-hour).
4. Click **Save** to apply.

| **Pro Tip**: Use the same time zone as your primary business location so availability blocks and order times stay consistent.

### Step 3: Set Currency (If Not Already Done)

1. If you haven’t set a default currency, go to **Settings > Pricing > General**.
2. Select your **currency** (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) and how it’s displayed (symbol or code, before or after amount).
3. Save your changes.

|| **Note**: Currency is often set when you first configure pricing. Localization focuses on date/time and language; currency lives under Pricing for consistency with your listings.
