6 Ways To Get More Out of Online Check Printing

Looking to get the most out of your online check printing service? Try out a unique Checkeeper feature you may not have previously considered:

1. Connect Checkeeper to Gusto for payroll

Businesses that use Gusto to automate payroll can seamlessly connect with Checkeeper for custom paycheck-printing options. Connecting Checkeeper to Gusto is simple: Log in to Checkeeper and click the Add-ons tab. Click ‘Add Gusto’ from the list of compatible add-ons, and you will be directed to Gusto. Log in to Gusto and follow the steps to authenticate Checkeeper. When finished, you’ll be redirected back to Checkeeper to begin printing custom paychecks for those employees paid by paper check.

2. Use Checkeeper bill-to-check conversion

If you have unpaid invoices in an Odoo or Xero account, Checkeeper can automatically convert the invoice data into a check ready for printing. Link Checkeeper to your Odoo or Xero account, and import the unpaid invoice(s) into the Checkeeper template. Checkeeper can generate a check with all the relevant payment fields populated for you and with all check details stored automatically in your online check registry. Payments due to the same vendor can be consolidated into a single check with an attached invoice table that breaks down the total. Streamline the payment process, reduce paper work, and save everyone time with this Checkeeper feature.

3. Turn your checks into marketing tools

Checks have served a vital financial purpose for businesses for well over 100 years. Checks printed with online software can also work in tandem with other marketing tools because they can contain color business logos as well as other design features that complement the other marketing and advertising material your business sends out. Simply upload your logo, position and size it onto your check, and print. Unlike pre-printed checks, whose design is fixed and unable to be edited, online checks can be edited and updated as often as needed. Changing your logo design, its sizing, or its colors? Upload a new image whenever needed in only a matter of seconds.

4. Add custom fields to your checks for better bookkeeping

Not all bookkeeping needs are exactly equal. Standard bank or third-party checks that are designed to fulfill generic transactional requirements may not be suited to individual business needs or preferences. Online, printable checks can be designed and customized to accommodate more specific bookkeeping requirements to include additional check fields that may help process transactions more accurately. For instance, Checkeeper enables users to add a line for customer ID or invoice number (or other line item) that makes processing the check much quicker and requires less cross-checking of payment types, account numbers, and identification. Upload your chosen check design into your template—or select one of Checkeeper’s provided check templates—and arrange, add, subtract, or resize new elements to suit your business’s bookkeeping needs. Custom fields can be deactivated when no longer needed, but they can still be used as search criteria when you need to research past payments.

5. Have your checks printed and mailed for you

Printing your own checks from the privacy and convenience of your home or office is an efficient, time-saving way to get payments out. For even greater efficiency and time savings, consider having Checkeeper do it for you. Checkeeper prints and mails checks all day, and can send out payments with attachments, invoices, pay stubs, benefits explanations, and other important documentation that accompanies a payment. Checkeeper offers four priority mailing options, including three with tracking options, so that your payments are delivered promptly and accountably. Checkeeper mailing services are ideal for traveling professionals, bookkeepers, and busy entrepreneurs because Checkeeper provides all the printing and mailing supplies for optimal user convenience.

6. Check out video tutorials for basic and advanced features

Checkeeper is online and user-friendly for virtually any user.
