While checks can be ordered through banks and various third-party vendors, printed checks cannot be changed once they have arrived. The customization selected, as well as the bank information and account numbers printed, are fixed, making the checks quickly obsolete and unusable with pertinent information changes. Online check printing is more adaptable to today’s various business environments because it accommodates changes and offers on-demand editing, updating, and revising of virtually every check element so that checks do not become outdated and unusable.
Here are six things that only online check printing allows users to update on demand:
Tired of your old checks, or in need of a new check layout? Instead of having to discard perfectly usable checks to make room for a new design or different check layout, opt for online check printing, which lets users change check style as often as desired. Checkeeper prints viable checks using any check layout: check-on-top, check-on-bottom, or check-in-middle, and it prints the necessary attachments to accommodate the paper layout. Checkeeper prints on any check stock of a user’s choice, so users can change their paper style, backgrounds, and colors, as well, without having to throw out old checks and place a pricey order for new checks. Update your check design the moment you need to, no longer having to wait for revised checks to arrive by mail.
Pre-printed checks contain standard check fields that cannot be changed. Online check printing offers templates that allow users to add, delete, and rename check elements, as well as move them around and resize them to suit the desired check design. If you want a custom check element, such as a line for customer ID or invoice number instead of (or in addition to) the memo, simply create a new field, and activate it in the layouts in which you want it to appear. Users can activate and deactivate custom check fields whenever necessary. On-demand adjusting of check elements is only possible with check software that offers real-time changes to printed checks.
Checkeepers can delegate some of the work without giving up control and oversight through Checkeeper user permission options. Add names and emails of users you wish to authorize, and Checkeeper will email them with a secure link to complete account setup. Limit the user permissions to only designated features, if needed, and restrict, expand, or revoke those authorizations at any time. Checkeeper offers on-demand user settings, including an approval requirement super users can set if they want to have final approval authority before a check is printed or mailed.
Every time you change banks or open a new checking account, you need to order all new checks. With online check printing, however, your bank account and routing numbers appear only as they are input, so they can be adjusted or replaced. Checkeeper allows users to link as many checking accounts as necessary without having to manage multiple accounts. Input new bank account and routing numbers along the bottom of the chosen check template, and Checkeeper will automatically format them in the MICR font that bank computers recognize.
Upload a color business logo into your Checkeeper account and place it on each check. Drag and drop the image into the desired position, and resize it to suit the check layout. If you modify your logo or replace it altogether, simply upload the new image and start using it on subsequently printed checks. It’s that easy. No wasted checks with outdated logos and images.
As a business grows, it is likely it will eventually outgrow its space or need to open additional locations. Business owners who upsize to accommodate new hires or added equipment, as well as those who work remotely, work from multiple locales, or are transitioning to a new space, all appreciate the portability of online check printing, which moves around easily and can change contact information on demand. Input a new business location or contact whenever needed without having to order new checks with updated business information.
Online check printing gives users a level of control over their business checks that they never had before, allowing them to change style, layout, check elements, and banking information as often as needed so that checks are always up to date.
