Does Shopify POS support cash rounding?

Which countries does Shopify POS round cash in?

Shopify POS uses the Swedish rounding method: where small coins aren't in use, it rounds to the nearest denomination. Only cash payments are rounded; card and other digital payments keep the unrounded total. Rounding applies to the final total, after discounts and taxes, on cash payments and cash refunds.

In Canada, for example, a 9.99 CAD payment gets a +0.01 CAD adjustment and is paid as 10.00 CAD. These 9 countries round automatically at checkout for all stores:

What changed for stores and first retail locations set up on or after July 6, 2026?

Starting July 26, 2026, rounding also applies automatically in 18 more countries and territories when either condition holds: you created your store on or after July 6, 2026, or an existing store set up its first retail location in a listed country on or after that date.

Existing retail locations where cash rounding is off aren't automatically switched on. If yours is one of them, you turn rounding on yourself in the POS editor of your Shopify admin.

The United States is in neither table, so a US store gets no automatic rounding.

None of the Shopify pages we checked on October 25, 2026 (the two cash rounding help pages, the POS and printed receipt help pages, the POS product page and the changelog) lists USD for cash rounding. Shopify's help still says you can manually configure cash rounding rules for each country where you use Shopify POS, when that country's cash rounding settings are available. In our development store, the POS editor's United States row started at No rounding and offered steps from $0.05 to $1.00.

How do you turn cash rounding on or off in Shopify POS?

You set a rule per country in the POS editor of your Shopify admin. Shopify's help asks you to confirm your local cash rounding requirements before you change these settings. Open the editor from Point of Sale > Settings: under Customization, click POS app. On the Point of Sale overview page, the Customize the in-store experience section opens the same editor, but that section is displayed only after you set up a POS device.

In the Cash rounding section, open the dropdown for a country, pick one option, then click Save:

• No rounding turns it off.
• Nearest rounds up or down to the nearest denomination.
• Round up always rounds every cash total up.
• Round down always rounds every cash total down.

What decides whether a sale is rounded at checkout:

• At checkout, Shopify POS applies the rule for the location where the order is completed; a location without a custom rule gets its country's default. You add a custom rule for chosen locations with Add custom location rule in the Cash rounding section.
• A sale is rounded only when the currency used at checkout matches the local currency of the retail location; which currency your POS charges in is a question of its own.
• Rounding also works offline on Shopify POS version 11.11 or higher.

How does cash rounding show on receipts, reports and refunds?

The cash rounding adjustment and the cash-rounded payment display on your customer's printed receipt, and default templates update on their own. If your store uses customized notification templates or customized printed POS receipts, you might need to update them manually so the rounding displays correctly; for custom receipt code, see also what happens to custom Shopify POS receipts.

Rounding shows on order details pages, in the Payments report and on the Cash tracking page, whose Cash payments section displays rounded numbers; in Payment finance reports you can add Cash rounding and Rounded net payment columns.

• Partial refunds and exchanges use the cash rounding rule of the return or exchange location.
• Full refunds and cancellations reverse the original rounded cash amount.
• Refunds to a gift card aren't rounded.

Where the legal tender is smaller than the rounding denomination, POS rounds the suggested amount received by default. If your staff accept the exact unrounded amount but select a rounded suggestion, POS records the rounded amount.
