Cash rounding in Retail POS (S-Series)

The cash rounding feature allows you to choose different rounding denominations and rules depending on your country’s currency. Once cash rounding is configured, Retail POS will round the amount owed when you take a cash payment.

Note: To use the cash rounding feature, you must update to the latest Register version (10.3.0). Cash rounding is not yet available for Quickbooks integrations.

Setting up cash rounding

By default, all sales round to the nearest 0.01 (cent). Once enabled, cash rounding applies to the default Cash payment type according to your rounding rule.

  1. Navigate to Settings > General.
  2. In the Cash Rounding section, click the Round To dropdown and select the smallest cash denomination of your country’s currency. Your currency will determine the default rounding rule and cash denominations.

  4. Click Save.

    The rounding rule will now be applied when you make a cash sale.

Making sales with cash rounding

When processing a sale with cash rounding enabled, Retail POS will display the correctly rounded amount. For example, if you selected the 0.10 cash denomination and the Midpoint rounds up rounding rule, a cash sale for $6.48 will be rounded to $6.50.

After completing the payment, the correctly rounded amount ($6.48) and the amount of rounding included in the sale ($0.02) will appear on the sale receipt.

If you’re processing a split transaction, the Cash amount may round up or down, depending on your cash rounding settings.
