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. where the smallest coin is 10¢, totals like $4.83 round to $4.80).

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:

SettingWhat it does
Rounding ModeHow the total is rounded — Math (nearest), Up, or Down.
Rounding ValueThe increment to round to — pick one of 10, 1, 0.1 or 0.01. The default is 0.01.
Only Apply Rounding on Cash PaymentsWhen 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.

Default setup

Bean & Brew example: round cash totals to the nearest $0.10.

  1. In the admin sidebar open Outlets.
  2. Click the Edit icon on the outlet.
  3. Open the ORDERING tab.
  4. Scroll to Rounding Settings:
    • Rounding ModeMath (rounds to nearest — $4.83$4.80, $4.86$4.90).
    • Rounding Value0.1.
    • Only Apply Rounding on Cash Paymentson.
  5. Save.
  6. On the POS sell screen tap Refresh to pull the new setting down.

Modes

  • Math — round to the nearest increment. 0.130.10, 0.160.20. This is the typical retail mode.
  • Up — always round up. 0.110.20. Use sparingly — customers usually don't appreciate it.
  • Down — always round down. 0.140.10. Common when local rules require you to favour the customer.
