🏠 General and localisation

Changes aren't saved on their own: click Save, which turns orange as soon as you touch something.

The default margin, the margin thresholds and the costs of materials, finishes and extra costs aren't here: they're in Costs → Default values. See Costs.

---

Default deadline

When you create a new order, BolloPrint suggests as the deadline today plus the days in the Days field. With 5, an order created today proposes a deadline in 5 days.

It's only the starting value: you can change the date on each order.

---

Default quote validity

Also in days. A new quote is valid until today plus that many days (30 if you haven't touched it), and that date is printed on the PDF, so the customer knows how long the offer is good for. It can be changed on each quote. More in Quotes.

Neither of the two day fields can be left empty: if you clear it, it's marked in red with “Value required” until you type a number.

Localisation

How information is shown to your workshop: in what language, on what clock, in what currency and with what date and number format.

Interface language

It's the workshop's default language. Only the Owner and Administrators change it, whenever they want.

Each person sees the language they chose. If they didn't choose one, they see the workshop's; if there isn't one either, their browser's (if BolloPrint offers it), and otherwise English.

• Every user chooses their own language in their user menu (Language), and that choice wins for them.
• The workshop's language is seen by those who haven't chosen one of their own, such as newly invited users.
• If you change the workshop language, it only changes for those following the default language. Those who already chose a personal one are not touched.

Time zone

All dates and times in BolloPrint (orders, prints, comments, history…) are shown in the time zone you choose.

Changing the zone doesn't touch any data: it only changes how you see the times. The zone also sets the cut-offs for the financial reports (what counts as “this month” or “this year”), so the totals line up with your real working day.

Type of date	Examples	Does it adjust to the zone?
Dates you choose in a calendar	Delivery, payment, shipping, deadline	No: they show as the day you picked
Timestamps	When an order was created, when a print finished	Yes

Currency

The list has 47 currencies —the euro, the dollar, the pound, the Swiss franc, the Nordic kronor, the złoty… and the national currency of every country where BolloPrint is available— and you can search in it. When the workshop is created we suggest your country's.

It's the workshop's reference currency:

• new orders, quotes and expenses are created in it;
• your costs (pieces, inventory, hourly cost) are in it;
• Finance and each customer's totals are added up in it.

A specific order, quote or expense can be in another currency: see Documents in another currency.

With invoicing turned on, the currency is locked. As soon as you turn on Invoicing, the selector is greyed out: your invoices are converted to it. If you really need to change it, write to us and we'll do it, together with your invoicing service. See Setting up invoicing.

Date and number format

How dates and amounts are written in your workshop: 21/10/2026 and 12,345.67 £ in the United Kingdom, 21.10.2026 in Germany, 12'345.67 in Switzerland. Each option in the list shows its example.

• It's one per workshop and the same for the whole team: nobody changes it in their user menu.
• It applies to every screen, the PDF of your quotes and the emails your workshop sends, such as the invoice email.
• By default it's Country default: …, your country's. If your country has several official languages, the workshop language's one is used: a Belgian workshop in French writes the way French is written in Belgium.
• Each person's language only changes the words: a written-out month (“21 Oct”) comes out in their language; figures always follow the workshop's format.
