## Introduction

General settings are the few store-wide preferences that affect every Yuko module. Set them once during onboarding; they rarely need to change.

## What's configured here

* **Store name** — used in widget headers, email templates and the Customer Account hub.
* **Currency** — inherited from Shopify; overridable for display purposes.
* **Timezone** — used for daily checks (e.g., birthday emails) and analytics.
* **Default locale** — falls through if a customer has no preferred locale.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open General">
    Go to **Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Account → General**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm store name and currency">
    Both inherit from Shopify. Override only if you have a clear reason.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the timezone">
    Use your store's primary timezone — it determines when daily-trigger campaigns (Birthday, Anniversary, Daily Visit) fire.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the default locale">
    Pick the language that maps to most of your customers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Changes apply within a few minutes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Best practices

<Tip>**Use your store's primary timezone**, not a developer's local timezone. Birthday emails go out at the wrong time otherwise.</Tip>
<Tip>**Match locale to actual usage.** If 70% of your customers are French-speaking, default to French; English fallback can stay for the remaining 30%.</Tip>

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why is currency derived from Shopify?">
    Loyalty math (points-to-currency conversion, store credit, etc.) is tied to your store's currency. Overriding it would break the math.
