Setting up rounding rules
You can use rounding rules to perform realistic rounding for item prices. For example, if you discount a certain category of items by 10%, the discounted prices might look unusual or unrealistic, such as $5.54 or $10.23. You can configure rounding rules to round these prices up, down, or to the nearest desired value. You can also configure rounding rules to end the price with a specific value, such as $0.95 or $0.99.
1. | Click File | Configuration. |
2. | Click the Rounding rules tab. |
3. | (Optional) If you only want to perform rounding for specific ranges of prices, enter them in the Price Range section. |
For example, to limit rounding to items with prices that are less than $100.00, in the Price Range section, enter $0.00 in the From field and $100.00 in the To field. If you want to perform rounding for all items, leave the amounts as $0.00 and $0.00 in the From and To fields.
4. | (Optional) If you want to perform rounding to a specific dollar denomination, click the check box beside the relevant price range, if applicable, and enter the dollar denomination. |
For example, to round items to the nearest dollar, under Make price multiple of, enter $1.00. To round items to the nearest $10.00, enter $10.00.

Some stores will end prices with specific values to indicate regular prices, sale prices, clearance prices, one-time markdown prices, or competitor matching prices. For example, if your store uses $0.97 to indicate clearance prices for items with prices that are less than $25.00, set up a price range and under Then end price with, enter $0.97.
