Setting Description and next steps
Measurement standard If you sell physical products on your site, use this option to set the measurement standards for product weights and dimensions. You can choose from: - Imperial - Metric
Country Select your country. If you select United States, also select your state from the option that appears. The address and phone fields in form blocks follow this setting.
Time zone Squarespace sets your default location based on the IP address from where you created your site. Review the current setting, or choose a new time zone. On a computer, you can click anywhere on the map to set your time zone, or select your nearest city from the drop-down menu.

Note: Some panels on your site may display dates and times based on your device's time zone settings, like the Created Oncolumn in the Contacts and Orders panels, but exports from these panels will use your site's time zone settings. To prevent discrepancies, ensure your device and site are set to the same time zone.
