Change the Date Format on Your Invoices

Match Your Regional Preferences with Consistent Date Formatting

Whether you're invoicing locally or internationally, using the correct date format helps reduce confusion and keeps your documents aligned with your client's expectations. Fynlo’s Invoice Designer lets you easily select a date format that matches your business standards.

Why Customize the Date Format?

Using the right date format helps you:

• ✅ Avoid miscommunication with clients across regions

• ✅ Align with your country or industry’s standard format

• ✅ Present invoices that look professional and consistent

How to Change the Invoice Date Format

Step 1: Navigate to Income -> Invoices from the left panel.

Step 2: In the Invoices table, locate the invoice you’d like to customize and select the corresponding record.

Step 3: On the right side of the table, click the three-dot menu (⋯) option and choose Design  from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: On the left-hand sidebar, scroll down to find the Invoice Settings section.

Step 5: In the Invoice Settings, find the Date Format field.

Step 6: Click on the current format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY) to open a dropdown list.

Select your preferred format from the following options:

• MM/DD/YYYY

• DD/MM/YYYY

• YYYY/MM/DD

• MM-DD-YYYY

• MM DD, YYYY

Once selected, the preview will update automatically.

Step 6: Click the Saves button at the top right of the Invoice Designer.
Your invoice will now reflect the new date format in areas like Date Issued and Due Date.

⚠️ Important Reminder: If you work with international clients, it’s best to use a clear, unambiguous date format like YYYY/MM/DD or MM DD, YYYY to avoid confusion. Small adjustments like these can improve how your invoices are received and understood.
