7 Essentials for Online Check Printing

Before choosing the right online check printing provider for your business, make sure the new adoption has the most important and widely-needed features; before selecting (and paying for) a service that may be too limited, too complicated, or insufficient to the payment needs of your specific company and industry, make sure the new software service offers all the essentials:

1.    Unlimited usage

Services that offer free or low-cost templates sometimes place limits on how many checks you can print each month before incurring an additional cost. Businesses that have busy seasons followed by slowdowns may not always be able to accurately predict exactly how many checks will be needed in a given month. Checkeeper offers unlimited checks all month long for one fixed price. Print a few checks one month and hundreds the next without worrying about added fees or moving to a higher pricing tier based on heavy usage. Checkeeper does not limit how many checks users print, how many check templates they save, or how many checking accounts are linked, giving users the most value for their subscription.

2.    Customizing options

Online check printing software should offer the ability to customize professional checks to suit the needs of the user. While a basic template may be offered, users should be able to upload their own check layout or modify the given templates to accommodate their specific bookkeeping and payment needs, as well as their design preferences. Checkeeper allows complete customization of check layouts, as well as the ability to upload backgrounds, design images, and color logos directly onto the check. Want to add a custom check field or replace the memo with something more specific, like customer ID or invoice number? Checkeeper makes it easy to add, delete, and move around elements to suit your needs and preferences.

3.    Software compatibility

Cloud-based tools for financial management that can work together reduce the need for tedious manual data entry, and they reduce errors that commonly result from having to enter the same numbers in multiple registries and ledgers. Checkeeper integrates with many of the most widely-used accounting and payroll software, including QuickBooks Online, FreshBooks, Gusto, Square, and more, to give users the convenience, time savings, and accuracy enhancements of having data recorded and synced in multiple places at once.

4.    Automatic recording

Save the time and hassle of having to manually record your payment transactions by adopting online, cloud-based tools that keep track of transactions for you. Checkeeper accounts come with an automated smart check registry that records and stores the details of each check created; the registry can be searched according to any check field to locate the record for a specific payment, or according to any custom time frame when you need to pull up a comprehensive list of all payments made within specific dates.

5.    Mailing services

Printing your own checks when you need them saves time and money, and it reduces the amount of supplies you need to store around the office; to save even more time and money—and space for supplies—outsource the entire check printing and mailing job to Checkeeper for the most affordable and hassle-free way to get checks out promptly. Checks ordered before 4pm EST can be in the mail by the end of the typical business day according to one of four priority delivery methods offered. Need hundreds or thousands of checks for customer rebates, refunds, or other high-volume orders? Checkeeper also offers high-volume custom check mailing for check orders too large for the typical office to handle. Place a call or email to Checkeeper to get your custom order started, and have all your checks printed and mailed for you efficiently with no supplies needed on your end.

6.    Multiple user access

Even small operations eventually find that delegating some of the bookkeeping can free up a lot of time and energy. Whether you want to share access with a remote bookkeeper, or you want to delegate some of the payment responsibilities to a partner or employee, Checkeeper makes it easy to share account access without giving up oversight. Authorize multiple users to issue payments, and limit their access to only the designated features needed; oversee all the payments issued by creating an approval requirement or by running Checkeeper reports, which will list the authorized user who issued each check transaction.

7.    Easy to learn; quick to adopt

While some software downloads are complicated and pricey, online check printing should be neither. Checkeeper offers the most user-friendly, easy-to-navigate site that allows new users to get started immediately. Check inside the Help section to find short video walkthroughs of many of Checkeeper’s most helpful features, and check out some of the online Youtube videos when you want more detailed explanations. Checkeeper can be tried for free for 14 days and then adopted on a month-to-month basis with no contract or commitment needed. Two weeks of Checkeeper use is all the training most users ever need to access all the features of unlimited check printing and mailing. Checkeeper works on any check stock you choose—or blank paper if that’s all that’s available—and checks can be printed using any standard office printer: no specialty supplies or equipment needed to get started printing professional, customized checks for your business.
