# in\_timezone

Converts a date to a specific timezone. Returns the date formatted as an ISO 8601 string (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss`) in the target timezone.

```liquid
{% assign local_time = "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z" | in_timezone: "America/New_York" %}
{% log local_time %}
```

Output:

```
2025-01-15T05:00:00
```

#### Syntax

```liquid
{{ date | in_timezone: timezone }}
```

| Parameter  | Description                                                                             |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `date`     | Date to convert — can be a date string, Unix timestamp (seconds), `"now"`, or `"today"` |
| `timezone` | IANA timezone name (e.g. `"America/New_York"`, `"Europe/London"`, `"Asia/Tokyo"`)       |

#### Return Value

Returns a string in `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss` format in the specified timezone.

#### Accepted Date Inputs

| Input                    | Description                        |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| `"now"` or `"today"`     | Current date and time              |
| `"2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"` | ISO 8601 date string               |
| `1705312800`             | Unix timestamp in seconds (number) |
| `"1705312800"`           | Unix timestamp in seconds (string) |

#### Examples

**Get current time in a specific timezone:**

```liquid
{% assign local_now = "now" | in_timezone: "Europe/Warsaw" %}
{% log local_now %}
```

**Convert order creation time to shop timezone:**

```liquid
{% assign local_created = order.created_at | in_timezone: shop.timezone %}
{% log "Order created at: " | append: local_created %}
```

**Format a date after timezone conversion:**

```liquid
{% assign local_time = order.created_at | in_timezone: "America/Los_Angeles" %}
{% assign formatted = local_time | date: "%B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p" %}
{% log formatted %}
```

Output:

```
January 15, 2025 at 02:00 AM
```

**Convert Unix timestamp:**

```liquid
{% assign local_time = 1705312800 | in_timezone: "Asia/Tokyo" %}
{% log local_time %}
```

**Use shop's timezone from global variables:**

```liquid
{% assign local_time = order.created_at | in_timezone: shop.timezone %}
{% log local_time %}
```

#### Notes

* Requires a valid IANA timezone name — throws an error if timezone is missing
* The output format is always `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss` — use the `date` filter afterwards to reformat
* Chain with `date` for custom formatting: `| in_timezone: "US/Eastern" | date: "%H:%M"`
* See also: `time_add`, `time_subtract`
