A donation roundup is an easy and increasingly common way to give to charity. The idea behind the donation roundup is a simple one. The point of sale gives the total amount of the bill to the customer. The cashier then asks if the customer wants to round up to the next dollar amount to benefit a given charity.

retailcloud gives your business the ability to round up. It requires no additional knowledge on the part of your cashiers because it is as simple as pressing a button. Likewise, customers appreciate helping charities in this manner because it lets them donate without hassle.
