Setting Up Price Rounding Across Markets

When selling in multiple markets, currency conversion may result in irregular or messy price endings across different currencies. SHOPLINE’s price rounding feature automatically adjusts converted prices to the most common and customer-friendly denomination formats used in each local market. This helps you maintain professional and localized price presentation across markets while preventing frequent price changes caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

To ensure consistent, stable, and localized price endings after currency conversion, follow this guide to learn how to set up price rounding rules.

Note: Gift cards are not subject to rounding rules.

 

 

How Price Rounding Works

Price rounding ensures that product prices converted into different currencies follow localized pricing patterns. Instead of displaying irregular decimals created by fluctuating exchange rates (e.g., 56.46 GBP), the system rounds prices to the most commonly used denominations for each currency.

 

Purpose of Price Rounding

Currency conversion may generate inconsistent or messy price endings. Price rounding resolves this by standardizing the final price based on the pricing norms in each market. This results in:

  • cleaner and more professional price display
  • improved customer experience
  • consistency across multiple markets
  • stable price endings regardless of exchange rate fluctuations

 

How the System Determines the Rounding Outcome

The system uses default rounding rules based on price endings commonly seen in each currency. Examples:

  • USD: .00, .95, or .99
  • JPY: rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand
  • GBP: typically ends with .95

Merchants can enable the price rounding feature in the Markets Preferences settings. For currencies that support customization, you can also manually adjust the rounding rules. Currencies that do not support customization will appear greyed out and cannot be modified.

 

 

Enabling Price Rounding

You can enable rounding rules and preview converted prices in the Markets settings.

Note: To set market-specific prices, refer to the "Configuring Products and Prices for Your Global Markets" guide.

  1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Settings > Markets and click Preferences.

Prices will be automatically rounded to the most commonly used denomination for each currency. For example, if a product is priced at $14.99 and the rounding rule for US dollars is set to 1, the price displayed in the store will be $15.00.

 

 

Customizing Rounding Rules

You can customize rounding rules for specific currencies. Follow these steps:

Note: Not all currencies support custom rounding rules. Options that cannot be customized will appear greyed out and cannot be adjusted.

  1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Settings > Markets and click Preferences.

Price Rounding FAQs

1. Does rounding react to exchange rate fluctuations?

No. After rounding is applied, the final price is fixed based on the rounding rule and does not change with minor exchange rate fluctuations. This ensures consistent price display for customers.

2. What rounding method is used?

The system uses the round up method to match the closest commonly used ending for each currency.

Example: GBP Rounding

If GBP commonly ends in .95, prices will be rounded up accordingly:

Product Converted Price After Rounding
Product A 56.46 GBP 56.95 GBP (0.46 → 0.95)
Product B 56.98 GBP 57.95 GBP (0.98 → 0.95 at the next price tier)
Product C 57.00 GBP 57.95 GBP (0.00 → 0.95)
