Yes it’s now 2022!
Topic summary
Automatic cash rounding to the nearest $0.05 at checkout is needed for regions without pennies/low‑value coins. Taxes vary by item (e.g., 13%, 8%, 5%), making price pre‑rounding impractical; rounding must occur in POS at payment.
Current status: Multiple retailers report Shopify POS lacks built‑in cash rounding. Support has confirmed it’s not available. Requests date back years and span Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand (10c minimum), and the U.S.
Workarounds mentioned:
- Third‑party app (Pfand Deposit Fee) claims to round to $0.05 and other increments on POS and online; some find it expensive and time‑consuming to set up. A link and image were shared.
- One user claims rounding is possible when using Shopify Payments, but restricted categories (e.g., vape shops) cannot access it.
Impacts: Cash receipts/totals are incorrect without rounding; manual adjustments are required. One retailer also noted lost Moneris integration, increasing manual entry (tangential but adds to friction).
Outcome: No official Shopify solution or timeline. Users continue to request a configurable cash‑rounding option in POS; discussion remains open with unanswered key question: when (or whether) Shopify will implement native rounding.
