United States, November 2025 – With the official retirement of the penny, many businesses are updating their cash payment processes. To help you stay compliant, transparent, and efficient, we have implemented an automatic rounding update in our POS system, ensuring smooth operations without extra effort from your team.
Your POS system is now fully equipped to handle cash rounding intelligently and automatically. Here’s how it works:
1. Rounding Applies Only to Cash Payments
The system rounds amounts up or down to the nearest nickel only when the transaction is paid in cash and pennies are not available.
2. Transparency with Clear Disclosures
To prevent confusion or disputes, the POS system now displays rounding practices clearly on receipts and signage. This ensures that customers understand how and why rounding is applied.
3. Correct Handling for SNAP & EBT Transactions
Government programs have specific compliance requirements that your POS system automatically adheres to:
- SNAP and EBT payments are not subject to standard rounding.
- The POS system typically rounds down for SNAP-eligible portions, ensuring that customers are not overbilled.
- Receipts will show precise SNAP charges and rounded cash amounts separately, when applicable.
This protects your business from compliance violations and maintains trust with your customers.
4. Sales Tax Calculated on Exact Amounts
Even if the final amount is rounded for cash transactions, your POS will still calculate and remit sales tax based on the unrounded subtotal.
As the penny phases out, our goal is to make this transition seamless for your business. With the new automatic rounding feature, your POS system manages cash transactions fairly, transparently, and in full compliance with regulations, including strict SNAP and EBT guidelines.
If you have any questions or need assistance reviewing your rounding settings, our support team is here to help.
Your POS system is now ready for a world without pennies, ensuring smoother transactions for your customers and simpler operations for you.
