Overview
SellTreez offers flexible round-down options to help you manage cash transactions smoothly. You can choose to round down to the nearest nickel, dime, quarter, or dollar—either automatically at checkout or manually when your cashier selects it.
This feature simplifies cash handling, speeds up checkout, and ensures your cash drawer reconciliation is easier at the end of each shift.

Configuring Your Round-Down Method
SellTreez offers two round-down methods. You can select only one at a time:
Round Down Method Options
Auto Round Down Transaction

No additional button click required
Best for: High-volume locations where speed is essential
Show Round Down Button

Best for: Locations that want flexibility (e.g., round down only on cash transactions or only upon customer request).
Disabled
No rounding applied to transactions
Transactions display exact totals including pennies
Selecting Your Round-Down Denomination
Once you've chosen your round-down method, select which denomination you want to round down to:
Available Denominations
Nickel ($0.05) - Round down to the nearest 5 cents
Dime ($0.10) - Round down to the nearest 10 cents
Quarter ($0.25) - Round down to the nearest 25 cents
Dollar ($1.00) - Round down to the nearest dollar
How Round-Down Works
For Transactions Over $1.00
Round-down applies the selected denomination to the final transaction total. For example:
Transaction total: $15.47
Nickel round-down: $15.45
Dime round-down: $15.40
Quarter round-down: $15.25
Dollar round-down: $15.00
For Transactions Under $1.00
To prevent $0 totals while eliminating pennies, special rules apply:
Transaction Total | Behavior |
$0.05 or less | No rounding applied. Total remains unchanged. |
$0.06 - $0.10 | Rounds down to $0.05 (regardless of your denomination setting) |
$0.11 - $0.24 | Rounds down to nearest $0.05, unless dime is selected (then $0.10) |
$0.25 - $0.99 | Rounds down to selected denomination, unless dollar is selected (then rounds to nearest nickel) |
When Round-Down Doesn't Apply
Round-down will not be applied when:
The transaction total is $0.05 or less
The transaction total already matches the selected rounding denomination (e.g., $10.25 with quarter rounding selected)
The cashier navigates away from the payment screen back to the cart (the discount is automatically removed)
Where Round-Down Appears
When round-down is applied, it will be reflected in:
The POS checkout screen
Customer receipts
Ticket API responses
Sales reporting
The Sales Discount Report (logged as "Round Down")
Important Notes
Round-down works with both pre-tax and post-tax configurations.
The round-down amount is applied as a discount to the transaction.
Round-down is not configured in your discounts module.
Navigating back to the cart from the payment screen after applying round-down will automatically remove the round-down discount.
Round-down never reduces item prices below the minimum product price (if enabled).
Round-down does not require a manager pin.
