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.

5. (Optional) If you want to end rounded prices with a specific value, click the check box beside the relevant price range, if applicable, and enter the value to use.

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.

6. Select the rounding method:
  • Round to nearest: Select to round to the nearest desired value. For example, if you want prices to end with $0.97, and the discounted price is $5.54, the price will be rounded up to $5.97. However, if the discounted price is $10.23, the price will be rounded down to $9.97.

  • Round up: Select to round to the nearest desired value that is above or equal to the price. For example, if you want prices to end with $0.97, and the discounted price is $5.54, the price will be rounded up to $5.97. Similarly, if the discounted price is $10.23, the price will be rounded up to $10.97.

  • Round down: Select to round to the nearest desired value that is below or equal to the price. For example, if you want prices to end with $0.97, and the discounted price is $5.54, the price will be rounded down to $4.97. Similarly, if the discounted price is $10.23, the price will be rounded down to $9.97.
