Rounding Off

Rounding-Off System  #

This system is built to manage decimal point situations. 

When customers make purchases, they earn points based on how much they’ve spent. Many times the total points earned isn’t a whole number. For example, if your rule is ₹1 = 1.5 points, and a customer spends ₹399, they would earn 598.5 points.

To decide how to handle the decimal (0.5 in this case), you can choose one of the following rounding rules:

Floor Rounding or Round Down
#

The given option always rounds the points down to the nearest whole number, no matter the decimal.
It’s useful when you want to keep point rewards slightly conservative.

For example, 

  • Suppose a customer spends ₹399
  • With ₹1 = 1.5 points, they earn 598.5 points
  • After applying Floor, they receive 598 points

Round to Nearest Integer  #

The given option rounds the points up or down depending on the decimal value.
Decimals below ‘.5’ go down, and ‘.5’ or above go up, making it a fair middle-ground choice.

For example,

  • Suppose a customer spends ₹399
  • Earns 598.5 points
  • If they spent ₹398 (which gives 597 points), they get exactly 597
  • If they spent ₹397 (which gives 595.5 points), it becomes 596

Allow Decimal Points  #

The given option keeps the points exactly as they are, including any decimal values. It’s ideal if you want customers to earn the exact points without any rounding.

For example, 

  • Suppose a customer spends ₹399
  • Earns 598.5 points
  • They receive the full 598.5 points
