Rounding Methods
BigSeller offers multiple rounding methods depending on your country/site and currency.
1. Truncate (Round Down)
When this method is selected, the trailing digit(s) of the order amount are dropped directly. Set the rounding precision (e.g., 0.01 or 0.1) to determine which decimal place is truncated.
- Example: $10.76 → $10.70 (precision: 0.1)
- Example: $10.769 → $10.76 (precision: 0.01)
For IDR and VND (Indonesian Rupiah / Vietnamese Dong), you can also select precision values of 100, 500, or 1000. The system rounds the amount down to the nearest multiple of the selected value.
- Example: Rp 15,750 → Rp 15,500 (precision: 500)
- Example: Rp 15,750 → Rp 15,000 (precision: 1000)
You can also set a maximum rounding amount. If the maximum rounding amount is set to 0, no rounding will be applied.
2. Round (Half Up)
When this method is selected, set the corresponding rounding precision to determine which decimal place is rounded up or down using the standard half-up rule.
- Example: $10.75 → $10.80 (precision: 0.1, rounds up)
- Example: $10.74 → $10.70 (precision: 0.1, rounds down)
3. MY 5-Sen Rounding (Malaysia Only)
This method applies exclusively to POS stores on the Malaysia site. It follows the official Malaysian legal 5-sen rounding standard, with a fixed precision of 0.05.
Rounding Rules:
- 1 sen, 2 sen → Round down to nearest 0 sen (e.g., RM 10.02 → RM 10.00)
- 3 sen, 4 sen → Round up to nearest 5 sen (e.g., RM 10.04 → RM 10.05)
- 6 sen, 7 sen → Round down to nearest 5 sen (e.g., RM 10.07 → RM 10.05)
- 8 sen, 9 sen → Round up to nearest 10 sen (e.g., RM 10.09 → RM 10.10)
