If you are new to online check printing and mailing, you will likely want to research services before making a commitment. If you are in the midst of a shutdown, tech outage, or discontinuation of a financial services product, however, your window of research time is very short—you need a prompt solution for keeping bills paid on time and payroll running smoothly. When selecting a new provider for online check printing, you’ll learn that not all services are built equally, and many may not offer the features needed for a business of your size or industry type.

When doing your research to select a check printing software or service, look for some red flags that may indicate potential problems later. Be wary of services that:

1. Aren’t upfront about pricing

Online check printing should save business owners money—not waste more of it. The best value is found in straightforward subscriptions plans that aren’t based on tiers, upcharges, and hidden fees for add-ons you may or may not need. Checkeeper offers a straightforward subscription option that unlocks all the features of unlimited check printing all month long. There are no hidden fees, transaction charges, or lengthy commitments that tie up your money. Sign up for as long or short a term as needed, and pay one flat rate for unlimited check printing.

2. Want to hold or move your money

Checkeeper offers online templates that can be designed and edited according to user need and then printed on demand. Checkeeper’s templates print the bank account and routing numbers exactly as users input them without entering a user’s bank account to move the funds.

3. Don’t let you sample the product

Checkeeper is confident in the superiority of the online check printing and mailing platform and offers its services to all new users for free for 14 days. A free trial unlocks all the features of unlimited check printing with no commitment or credit card required.

4. Put limits on usage

Checkeeper offers an unlimited volume of check printing all month long for the same flat rate: no hidden fees, pricing tiers, limits, or minimums. Print as many checks from as many different check templates and checking accounts as needed, all month long. Managing payments for more than one business? Checkeeper enables users to add as many separate businesses as needed and access all of them from the same account login and dashboard. Each added business incurs its own subscription price, which includes its own online registry, check template designs, user permissions, saved add-ons, and uploaded logos and images, all accessible in one place. Business owners appreciate the centralized financial management offered by Checkeeper.

5. Don't offer mailing options

Checkeeper offers customizing check software for print-on-demand needs, as well as complete check printing and mailing outsourcing options. Import a list of checks into your Checkeeper account, and order them to be printed from the Checkeeper fulfillment site. Checkeeper can have your printed checks in the mail by the end of the business day according to the priority delivery method of your choice. Need the checks back in your own hands first? Checkeeper can send all your needed payment or payroll checks in one batch back to your office via UPS Next-Day Air.

6. Don't offer customer support

Everyone knows the frustration of poor (or nonexistent) customer support when dealing with third-party services. And while Checkeeper’s website and user dashboard are intuitive and easy to navigate, Checkeeper does not abandon you when issues arise. Online customer support is prompt and knowledgeable, and instructive online videos are also available to walk you through how to use many of Checkeeper’s advanced features and add-ons. When you need just a simple example or reminder of how to use a specific Checkeeper feature, click on the Help tab in your account and select from the Pro Tips menu one of dozens of short video demonstrations for a quick tutorial that repeats automatically.

7. Can't handle high volume

Checkeeper is the go-to service for high volume check printing and mailing. Companies that find themselves in need of hundreds or thousands of checks for customer rebates, refunds, settlement payouts, or other mass payment turn to Checkeeper for expedient, reliable check printing and mailing. A call or email to Checkeeper can get you a custom quote and time frame for a large order of checks to be professionally printed and mailed.

Checkeeper is the go-to check printing and mailing service for small businesses and bookkeepers everywhere. Whether you need a high volume of checks or just a few; whether you want to print and mail your checks yourself or outsource the whole job; whether you need a short-term solution or a long-term partner, Checkeeper can step in to keep bill payments and paychecks up to date and accurate without all the risks.
