Overview

SellTreez allows you to round transaction totals in POS to simplify cash handling and checkout workflows.

You can configure rounding to:

Always Round Down (applied as a discount)
Always Round Up (applied as a fee)
Round to the Nearest (applied as a discount or fee depending on direction)

Rounding can be applied automatically or manually by the cashier when entering the order checkout step in SellTreez POS.

🔔 What's New (v69.12.+)

Starting in v69.12+, Round Up and Round to the Nearest now support all denominations:

Nickel ($0.05)
Dime ($0.10)
Quarter ($0.25)
Dollar ($1.00)

Previously, these options were limited to nickel rounding only.

How Rounding is Applied

Round Down

Applied as an item-level discount
Decreases the final total
Impacts taxes if taxes are calculated after discounts
Tracked in the Sales Discount Report

Round Up

Applied as a non-inventory fee line item
Increases the final total
Tracked in the Sales Product report

Tax behavior:

Taxable → increases taxable subtotal and recalculates tax
Non-taxable → increases total only (no tax impact)

Round to the Nearest

Determines whether to round up or down
If exactly halfway between two values, rounds to the nearest even value to keep totals balanced over time (Bankers Rounding).

Nearest (Bankers Rounding) Examples:

Nickel ($0.05)

$10.025 → $10.00
$10.075 → $10.10

Dime ($0.10)

$10.05 → $10.00
$10.15 → $10.20

Quarter ($0.25)

$10.125 → $10.00
$10.375 → $10.50

Dollar ($1.00)

$10.50 → $10.00
$11.50 → $12.00

Additional Notes

Rounding is applied at checkout, not while building the cart
Rounding is removed if the cashier navigates away from the checkout payment screen before completing the order
Rounding can only be applied once per transaction
Rounding can only be applied within the POS
Rounding is not applied if the transaction total already matches the selected denomination.
Review tax settings before enabling Round Up or Round to the Nearest, as these may impact tax calculations

Configuring the Round Up Fee as Taxable

By default, the system-generated Round Up fee is non-taxable. However, if your tax is configured to apply to “Everything,” it will also apply to the Round Up fee.

If your local regulations require rounding fees to be taxed, you can update this in your Tax Configuration settings.

To update the tax setting:

Navigate to the Configuration menu
Select Config Page
Click on Taxes
Select Point of Sale Tax Setup
Click Edit and proceed to the Medical or Adult Use tab
Locate the appropriate tax label row to update and select the Applies to Products dropdown.
Select the checkbox for Round Up Fee under Non-Cannabis to make it taxable
1. Unselect the checkbox to make it non-taxable
Repeat as needed for other tax labels or the Medical or Adult Use tabs
Save your changes

Important
If tax is currently set to “Everything,” simply unchecking Round Up may still result in it being taxed.

To explicitly exclude it:

Check Round Up Fee
Then uncheck it
Save changes

This ensures it is no longer treated as an “Everything" tax.

✔ Confirm by:

Verifying Applies to Products no longer shows “Everything”.

Special Handling for Low Totals with Round Down

For totals under $1.00, round down applies safeguards to prevent totals from reaching $0 while still eliminating pennies:

Transaction Total	Behavior
$0.05 or less	No rounding applied. Total remains unchanged.
$0.06 - $0.10	Rounds down to $0.05
$0.11 - $0.24	Rounds to nearest $0.05 (or $0.10 if dime selected)
$0.25 - $0.99	Rounds to selected denomination (or nickel if dollar selected)
