Hey @nagpai, I'm wondering why this one is labeled as bug? So far looks like enhancement, and I suppose it's been discussed with a product team?

Hi @vbelolapotkov, I have marked it as a bug since it can cause confusion for merchants, and it is inconsistent with how we show dates in the store time zone for Transactions list.

I suppose it's been discussed with a product team?

Yes, Sourav has confirmed that we should be using the store time zone. As indicated in @haszari 's comment though, we will need to do an audit to see how date and time is calculated by various reports within WooPayments, and make it consistent. I have amended the title and the content of the issue to indicate why it is a bug ( what could go wrong for merchants )

I created this issue, and another similar one related to Disputes as placeholders for now. My broad understanding - Depending on the approach we take, we may either close this or add this as a task.

FYI @nagpai I've clarified the title – this is definitely inconsistent with other list views, right? If not we should change back to maybe. Marking as medium priority, would be good to make all times consistent. We'll need to do a spike/design to fix this though.

Marking as blocked until we have audited and aligned on a path forward:
