# Date and Time Format

You can control how time and date show up on the storefront calendar (and in Sesami’s default emails).

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Where to change it

Go to: **Sesami → Settings → Storefront Settings → Time format & Date format**

Click **Save** when you’re done.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Time format

Choose one:

* **12-hour** (am/pm)
* **24-hour** (e.g., 08:00, 14:00, 23:00)

## Date format (tokens)

You can configure the date format using these tokens:

* `dd` = day (e.g., 02, 19, 30)
* `MM` = month number (e.g., 01, 12, 07)
* `NN` = month name (e.g., February, June, October)
* `yyyy` = year (e.g., 2024)
* `hh` = hour (e.g., 06:00)
* `mm` = minute (e.g., 00:10)

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Time format** shows on the storefront calendar and in Sesami default notification emails.
* **Date format** shows in Sesami default notification emails.
* If you use **Sesami Flows**, your formatting is handled differently (see dev docs for formatting rules).
  {% endhint %}
