I get a warning “Calendar time zone (+03) differs from business time zone (CDT)”. How can i set correct time zone for Calendar?

And my business hours below. But it doesn’t match with calendar.

👋 Currently the calendar will only display in the timezone that the browser is set to. There isn’t currently a way to set it to a different timezone. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team. 🙂

This feedback was good for me. I changed browser’s timezone and it is OK. At least I don’t get confused for timezones for a sandbox.

Hi - I’m running into a similar issue but it’s when I am submitting a booking (POST /v2/bookings) via the API (using the API explorer Sandbox).

I keep getting this error no matter what variation of timestamp that I attempt to use in the Start field.

```auto
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "category": "INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR",
      "code": "BAD_REQUEST",
      "detail": "Invalid Timezone, please use fully qualified timezone, eg. America/Los_Angeles",
      "field": "tzid"
    }
  ]

```

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks

Update - I was able to make a booking successfully after updating the location time zone on my Square Dashboard \> Locations page.

I’m not sure what the logic is that caused the error though. Previously I had my Sandbox store location time zone set to Eastern and I was getting an error. When I changed it to Pacific I was able to make the booking. And then I changed it back to Eastern and I was able to make another booking.

Maybe the Time Zone had to be re-submitted after the Appointments module was enabled?

That does sound odd. What’s your application ID? 🙂

30 minutes time difference in bookings is problematic, how we can fix this?

It should show 9:00 to 10:00, but it is showing 9:30 to 10:30, timezone is Newfoundland.

This is a pretty old post. Would you mind adding a bit more detail on your issue? Is it a timezone issue? Do you have any examples? 🙂
