As some of you may know, Canada has now stopped producing the penny. We need to round up or down all of our cash purchases to the nearest nickel and I was wondering if anyone out there knows of an easy way we can accomplish this.
We were thinking of using a slush payment method to do the rounding, however this requires our reps to have to do the calculations and they just don't have the time pre-show to spend doing this.
Any thoughts?
I thought of that Boann, but our fees have a tax component to them as well, so if an order has a $8 handling fee, there is one fee for the handling ($7.08) and a second fee for tax ($0.92) which would require more ‘thinking’ than just the MOP.
And, I guess in the long run, editing a fee or adding a slush mop for 1 or 2 cents is pretty much the same amount of work. I’d really been hoping for something automatic so that the staff didn’t have to think.

Could you make the fees editable and manually adjust the fees up or down to account for the penny issue? Or are there ramifications with taxes and the like?

Thanks for your reply Beth. Our ticket prices do not include taxes and fees so we face a penny issue on pretty much every order, but of course the only issue will be for our patrons paying in cash at our counters. This of course creates more issues as normally these transactions are time sensitive as they are usually just before show time.
I've contacted a couple of Canadian companies and none of them have any automatic solution either, so I guess we'll be going with the slush MOP to round it up or down.
