If the site timezone is not set to UTC, the start date displayed for a subscription on the related orders meta box can be confusing. It also apparently prevents access for merchants who may have external validation of the subscription and checking the start date. See 6473467-zen
To Reproduce
Site timezone set to Los Angeles
Purchase a subscription and complete checkout
View the related orders metabox for the order, see that the subscription start date is in 7 hours
Expected behavior
For the subscription to reflect an accurate start date/time and to have an accurate post_date and post_date_gmt fields.
Actual behavior
Start time is offset from payment time an equal amount of time as the difference between UTC and the site time.
