Cash Rounding

ProofOfConcept · ‎09-01-2024

People have been asking for the ability to round up hundreds of times, and Square indicates they can't do it, but in Canada, they got rid of the Penny years ago, and Square has a Cash Rounding feature already built into doing this.

It makes no sense that you can't add a feature to the US version allowing a business to round up or down cash sales automatically. Ideally, you could have user-selectable options for rounding - up only or up or down - plus amount to round to 0.05 or 0.10 or 0.25 or $1 rounding. Then, please create an account where this money could be tracked so users could apply it to a charity or an employee fund.

At the very least, let customers in the US turn on the Cash Rounding feature you've already built for Canada.

See this recent article on the Penny - if Square were to make a big announcement about getting rid of the penny, it might move the issue forward. Having my staff have to deal with pennies is a waste of time - please help us get rid of them.

Our bank mentioned this as well, they are no longer ordering pennies.

Also requesting this feature be implemented in the US asap.

Yep, seems like it's a necessity at this point considering the penny shortage.

The last pennies were minted yesterday. Rounding to the nearest nickel should be a priority.

The penny is officially dead. Eventually the ones in circulation will disappear. We need a solution sooner than later!

WE CAN'T GET PENNIES ANYMORE. SQUARE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A TOP PRIORTY OR WE WILL SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT PROVIDER THAT DOES HAVE A ROUNDING FEATURE. WE NEED A SOLUTION ASAP!!!!

C’mon Square. Don’t wait until it causes problems.
We know the work around is to have everyone pay by card, but that is not an option for many customers.
