Vori offers a fully automated cash rounding system. This feature saves time for your cashiers and shoppers by eliminating the need for pennies during cash transactions.

​
How it works

Unlike other POS systems that require manual adjustments, Vori detects when a transaction is paid in cash and applies the rounding logic instantly.
  • Card vs. cash: Rounding only applies to cash payments. Transactions made via credit, debit, or other digital methods are processed to the exact penny.
  • Rounding up: If the total ends in $0.03, $0.04, $0.08, or $0.09, the system rounds up to the nearest $0.05.
  • Rounding down: If the total ends in $0.01, $0.02, $0.06, or $0.07, the system rounds down to the nearest $0.05.
  • Split payments: If a shopper pays partially with a card and the remaining balance with cash, the rounding logic applies only to the final cash portion.
Example:
  • A total of $6.18 paid in cash automatically adds a $0.02 “Cash Rounding” line item to reach $6.20. POS basket showing a $0.02 Cash Rounding line item added to a cash total of $6.18 to reach $6.20
  • A total of $16.31 paid in cash automatically applies a -$0.01 “Cash Rounding” credit to reach $16.30. POS basket showing a -$0.01 Cash Rounding credit applied to a cash total of $16.31 to reach $16.30

​
What the shopper sees

To maintain transparency, rounding appears as a clear line item on the printed receipt.
  • Line item: A product named Cash Rounding is added to the basket.
  • Department: It is typically categorized under a department called Cash Adjustments.
This ensures the shopper understands exactly why their total changed by a few cents. Printed receipt showing the Cash Rounding line item and its adjustment amount

Setup and configuration

Setting up cash rounding is a two-step process in the Back Office.

​
1. Create the Cash Adjustments department and rounding product

First create a specific department and a placeholder item in your product catalog to track these adjustments.
  1. Create the department: In your Back Office, create a new department named Cash Adjustments. Back Office department creation screen with the name Cash Adjustments entered
  2. Create the product: In the Product Catalog, create a new item named Cash Rounding.
    • Assign department: Link the Cash Rounding product to the Cash Adjustments department.
    • Barcode: Assign a unique barcode that does not conflict with existing products.
    • Price: Set the retail price to $0.01. The POS automatically overrides this price during the transaction.

​
2. Contact Vori to enable

After the department and product are added to your catalog, contact Vori Support. We’ll map the item to your store’s backend settings and complete the setup so the rounding logic is fully activated at the register.

​
Refunding cash rounding

When processing a refund on a transaction that included Cash Rounding, the Cash Rounding adjustment appears as its own selectable line item on the refund screen, separate from the purchased items. The cashier controls whether it’s included in the refund:
  • To include the rounding adjustment: Select all items including Cash Rounding. The refund total reflects the full amount paid.
  • To exclude the rounding adjustment: Leave Cash Rounding unchecked. Only the selected items are refunded.
Example: A transaction totaling $16.05 with a $0.02 Cash Rounding adjustment:
  • Refunding 3 items (Cash Rounding excluded) → $16.03 refund POS refund screen with three items selected and the Cash Rounding line item unchecked, showing an Issue Refund button for $16.03
  • Refunding all 4 items (Cash Rounding included) → $16.05 refund POS refund screen with all four items selected, including the Cash Rounding line item, showing an Issue Refund button for $16.05
Once items are selected, tap Issue Refund to proceed to the Select Refund Method screen, where you can return funds via Card, Cash, or Gift Card.

​
Technical details

  • Price overrides: Even if a staff member accidentally changes the price of the Cash Rounding item in the catalog, Vori’s logic overrides it at the POS to keep the rounding mathematically correct (similar to how the system handles WIC).
  • Reporting: Because the rounding is tied to a specific product and department, you can track the total impact of rounding (net over/short) in your sales reports.
