Use Account settings (route /settings, General tab) to manage your account preferences and security.
Key functions
Preferences
- Interface language — switch between English and German; applies across the app.
- Timezone — choose the timezone used for scheduled runs and date/time display.
- Date format — pick how dates appear (e.g. long, ISO, European, US).
- Time format — pick 12-hour, 24-hour, or 24-hour with seconds.
- Live preview — shows how your current timezone and format choices look before you save.
- Save changes — applies timezone and format settings; language changes take effect immediately.
Change email
- Enter a new email address and submit the change.
- Auth0 sends a confirmation email to the new address.
- The change takes effect only after you open the link in that email; your current email stays active until then.
Security
- Reset password — sends yourself a password reset email with a link to set a new password.
Danger zone
- Delete account — permanently removes your access to ShopMonitor and logs you out.
- Deletion is a soft delete: your data is never hard-deleted from the system.
WordPress plugin info
- When WordPress plugin support is enabled for your account, an info card explains how the ShopMonitor WordPress plugin connects to shops.
- Connection uses signed requests (JWT) — no API key is stored in account settings.
- Plugin status and detected integrations are shown in WordPress admin and under website settings.
Access when locked out
- Settings stays reachable even when your account is locked out (e.g. after trial expiry without a subscription).
- You can still update preferences, change email, reset your password, or manage billing from other tabs.
- No plan gating applies to this page — all authenticated users can use it.
Tips
- Check the live preview after changing timezone or formats so scheduled times and timestamps match your expectations.
- After requesting an email change, complete the Auth0 confirmation promptly — until then, sign-in still uses your old address.
