So you can use {VAR:order.order_created} However, this will output the raw date from the database, which should just be a number. If you want a human readable date and time, you'll have to add PHP code like that: Code: <?php echo hikashop_getDate($data->cart->order_created, '%d %B %Y %H:%M'); ?> Last edit: 6 years 2 weeks ago by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile").
