The Checkeeper template is so versatile that it can be adjusted, edited, and redesigned to create unique business checks that help a brand stand out and stand apart. Only with online check printing through Checkeeper can users add unique, custom fields to their checks, activating and deactivating them whenever needed.
Checkeeper offers custom business check printing by which users can make their checks unique and highly specific to their bookkeeping and recording needs. Never thought to add a special or specific field inside your business check? Adding a custom field to checks offers a number of advantages, including:
Placing a color business logo on each check reinforces the brand and helps make it more recognizable to more people. Upload your color business logo into Checkeeper and then size and position it on your chosen check layout to suit your desired look. Your checks will then match the other marketing material you send out, creating a more professional and more memorable impression.
Checkeeper allows users to add custom check fields, such as invoice number or customer ID, which may help recipients process the payments with greater accuracy while also helping the payor match the check information to internal bookkeeping records after the check is cashed. Custom check fields give users an additional search criterion, as well, when a payment needs to be tracked down, verified, or recorded elsewhere. Input into the Checkeeper registry search the name of any check field you can recall, including a custom field that you added yourself, to locate a specific payment or series of payments that match the term. A custom field added to the Checkeeper template can be deactivated when it is no longer needed, but it can still be used as a search criterion in order to locate past payments that were made when it was active.
Track expenses, locate specific payments, and run real-time reports quickly and efficiently with Checkeeper’s online check registry that automatically records and stores payment details for you. The smart check registry records all check fields—including the custom fields you add yourself—and can locate a payment according to any check element, as well as a series of payments made within any custom time frame that users input. Adding a customer identification number or invoice number to checks gives users an additional search criterion to use to locate payments, and it adds another spreadsheet category to make records more organized and quicker to sort through. These features speed up the process of expense tracking and account reconciliation so that both processes can be done more quickly and more accurately.
To add a custom field:
1. Go into ‘Settings’ (located along the left-side navigation bar)
2. Click ‘Custom Fields’ along the top
3. Add the name for the new field, and click ‘Add Field’
After creating a custom field, you then will select the check layout in which the new field should appear. The new field is available to be added to any of your saved check layouts.
To activate a custom field:
1. Go into ‘Layouts’ (located along the left-side navigation bar)
2. Click on the layout of choice, and hit ‘Edit Layout’
3. Within the elements tab, a menu of custom fields will appear on the right side of the check design and will contain your new field.
4. Drag and drop your new field onto the check in the desired location
Make sure the check layout with the new custom field is the ‘active’ layout so that future checks printed contain the new check field. Custom fields that are no longer needed can be deactivated and will no longer appear on checks, but they will be saved in the account so that users can still use them as a search criterion for later searching and reporting.
