4 Situations That Require Immediate Changes to Checks

Checkeeper offers versatile, portable software for creating and printing custom business checks. The online account access means that users can change their checks whenever they need to. Pre-printed checks ordered through banks and third parties cannot be changed once they arrive, rendering them outdated and obsolete in many common situations. Instead of wasting boxes of checks every time information changes, many business owners opt for custom check printing that can make on-demand edits, updates, and revisions whenever needed. Consider these occasions when users take advantage of on-demand check updating:

You’ve moved

Some business owners find they need a bigger space to accommodate a growing business, while others decide to downsize to save money. Those who decide to relocate their business or open additional locations rely on adaptable tools that can keep up with the changes. Checkeeper makes it simple to change address and contact information when needed:

· Click on the Settings tab along the left-side navigation bar

· Select ‘Business’ along the top

· Input new address and/or business information

· Click ‘Save Settings’

Your new business address will now appear on the activated check layout.

You’ve changed banks or accounts

When you change banks or open a secondary checking account, you need all new checks that reflect the correct bank, routing number, and account number along the bottom of each check. Those old checks from the old bank? Useless. Instead of reaching for the shredder, consider online check printing that leaves no check wasted because no check is outdated. Simply input the new bank and account info into your template, and print subsequent checks with the correct information. Checkeeper enables unlimited linked checking accounts, and the software automatically formats the routing/account numbers in the MICR font needed for bank processing, so there is nothing further for users to do, no matter how many checking accounts they use. To update your account number on checks:

· Select the check layout you want

· Click ‘Edit Layout’

· Select the Bank Account element from the right-side list of elements

· Place the element along the bottom of the check

· When prompted, add the new routing and account numbers

Pre-printed checks with business logos cannot be changed. If your business is new, trying out different marketing ideas, or has a logo that becomes too similar to a competitor’s, you may find yourself in need of a revision or replacement. With pre-printed checks, you have to now waste all the ones with the outdated logo, or you have to send out checks that no longer align with the other marketing material that contains the new logo. With Checkeeper online check printing, you can use the template editor to delete the old logo and upload your new one; place it how and where you want it on your check, and then print subsequent checks with the new logo to match all the other marketing material you send out. To make the change:

· Select the layout of choice

· Go into the ‘Images’ tab

· Upload from your computer the new logo

· Find the new logo in your menu of image options

· Drag-drop the new logo onto your check and size it accordingly

You want to add a custom check field

Only online check printing enables custom elements to be added to a check. While Checkeeper check layouts come with all the check fields you need to issue and cash a viable check, some users opt to replace the ‘memo’ line with something more specific, or to add underneath it a special line item, such as customer ID or invoice number. This aids in-house bookkeeping and gives users an additional search criterion to use when tracking down payments in the smart check registry. To add a custom field:

· Go to the Settings tab

· Select ‘Custom Fields’

· Input the title of your new field

· Select ‘Add Field’

Users can activate or deactivate custom check fields. Check fields that are deactivated will no longer appear on the check but can still be used as search terms for your online registry.

Only online check printing services can give users all these on-demand customization options that can be amended, deleted, or adjusted on an as-need basis.
