FAQs and Troubleshooting
I’m having issues with my report’s time zone, how can I fix this?
If your report isn’t downloading in your desired time zone, here’s a helpful hack: change your computer’s time zone to UTC. To do this:
Go to your computer’s settings and change your time zone to “Iceland”.
Next, export your CSV file, and it should reflect the correct times for your transaction history.
Don’t forget to change your time zone back once you’re done! We’d hate for you to miss that important meeting 😅
