Canadian POS

Setting up a point of sale system doesn’t have to be overwhelming. While there is no shortage of options, or platforms, available, there are a few key things to consider when setting up Canadian point of sale. 

Canada is expected to outpace the United States in B2C eCommerce growth in the next year, and eventually account for over seven percent of the entire North American eCommerce market – and even conservative estimates have this rate continuing to grow.  

In light of this growth, it is more important than ever for retailers to choose the correct Canadian POS system, in order to grow their business to its full share of market potential.

In this article, I’ll break down how eHopper POS offers intuitive business tools, as well as easy it can be to set up an eHopper POS system in Canada.

5 Cents Rounding

If you run a small business owner in Canada, then you already know about 5 cents rounding.  

In its Economic Action Plan 2012, the Canadian government announced it would phase out the penny from Canada’s coinage system. As of February 4, 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies. Since this date, Canadian retailers have had to implement cash rounding practices. 

The good news is, eHopper’s Freedom plan now supports cash rounding in POS! You can choose to round up or down to the nearest 5, 10, 15, or 20 cents. 

To set up 5 cents rounding, you must be a Freedom customer and have installed the Cash Rounding app in the App Directory. 

    1. Once the Cash Rounding app is installed, select Apps—>Cash Rounding from the left navigation menu.
    2. On the Rounding App Settings page, select to round cash transactions (including sales, refunds and exchanges) to either a .05, .10, .15, or .20 cash denomination from the Round to drop-down menu.
    3. Select the Rounding rule you would like to be applied to all cash transactions (the rules will differ depending on the Round to option selected: see below) from the drop-down menu.
