# Time zone and when emails go out

Your time zone decides the day an invoice becomes overdue. Automatic emails go out on their scheduled date, but not at a time you choose, so they may reach you at an unusual hour.

### Set your time zone

**Website:** nothing to do. Each time you open InvoiceQuick, it uses your computer's time zone.

**App:**

1. **Menu** → **Profile** → **Account settings** → **Preferences** → **Timezone**.
2. Search for your city or region and pick it.
3. Tap **Save timezone**.

### What uses your time zone

- **Overdue:** an invoice becomes overdue after its due date ends in your time zone.
- **Send later:** on the website, the time you pick is in your local time. In the app, it's your phone's time.

### When automatic emails go out

These go out on their scheduled date, but you can't choose the time of day:

- invoices from a recurring invoice
- payment reminders
- late fees

Depending on where you are, they may arrive in the evening the day before, or in the early hours. For example, a reminder set for the due date can reach a customer in the US the evening before.

### Good to know

- The website updates your time zone every time you open it. If you travel or use a computer set to another zone, check **Timezone** in the app afterwards.

### FAQ

**My recurring invoice went out at 2 AM.** Recurring invoices go out on their scheduled date, and you can't pick the time of day. Depending on where you are, that can be the early hours.

**My invoice shows as overdue a day early.** Check your time zone. On the website it comes from your computer's clock settings.

**My customer got a reminder the evening before the due date.** Reminders go out on their scheduled date, and you can't pick the time of day. If you'd rather it arrives after the due date, edit that reminder in **Invoicing** → **Reminders** and set it to 1 day **After** the **Due Date**.
