Cash Payment Rounding
Overview
Cash rounding rounds the final total only when the customer pays in cash — useful in countries where the smallest coin in circulation is bigger than your prices' precision (e.g. SGD has no 1¢ coin, so totals like $4.83 round to $4.85).
It's an outlet setting, applied at checkout on the POS, and never affects card / wallet / voucher payments — those still take the exact amount.
How it works
Set two things per outlet:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rounding Mode | How the total is rounded — Math (nearest), Up, or Down. |
| Rounding Value | The increment to round to — 0.05, 0.10, etc. |
| Only Apply Rounding on Cash Payments | When on, rounding only applies to cash; other tender stays exact. Recommended. |
The POS shows the customer the rounded cash total when cash is selected as the payment method.

Modes
- Math — round to the nearest increment.
0.12→0.10,0.13→0.15. This is the typical retail mode. - Up — always round up.
0.11→0.15. Use sparingly — customers usually don't appreciate it. - Down — always round down.
0.14→0.10. Common when local rules require you to favour the customer.
