Checkeeper is widely known as an industry leader in online check printing and mailing. Small business owners, bookkeepers, payroll managers, and freelancers have been using Checkeeper for years as a reliable, secure, on-demand alternative to traditional check-writing. For those users looking to take advantage of the versatility that goes beyond ordinary check printing, consider some Checkeeper options that save even more time and enhance the professionalism of business checks:

Business logo and image upload

Only online check printing enables users to upload to their check templates a color business logo and position it, resize it, edit it, move it, and even replace it with a new one as often as needed. After choosing your preferred layout, look for the ‘Images’ tab and use the drag-drop or image upload option to add the logos and design images you want to place on your checks.

Cloud storage backup

Cloud-based, online tools give users more flexibility, security, and accessibility than tools of the past. Checkeeper’s online software allows users 24/7 access from any remote location and provides access to data updated in real time. The details of each check created are automatically recorded and stored in an online registry, saving users the time, errors, and omissions involved in manual recording. Retrieve records from anywhere, knowing they are backed up, accurate, and comprehensive.

Multiple business management

Checkeeper makes it easy to manage multiple businesses or business checking accounts from within one centralized location. Instead of keeping track of multiple check books, ledgers, and registries—which make expense tracking and bank reconciliation long, error-prone processes—keep all your check records in one secure online account that allows users to toggle between multiple businesses from the same login and dashboard. Each business added is granted its own Checkeeper subscription, complete with its own separate registry, saved templates, add-ons, logos, images, settings, and user permissions.

Priority mailing options and custom mailing

Mailing checks everyday—or large volumes of checks every now and then—drains a lot of time that could be better spent on other aspects of your business. Checkeeper offers complete check printing and mailing outsourcing for those times when payment mailing requires time and resources that exceed what’s available. Spend less time stuffing and sealing envelopes or making trips to the post office by having Checkeeper do the work for you. Upload a CSV file directly into your Checkeeper account and import check-payment data so that Checkeeper can print all your checks for you. Checks can be mailed to the individual addresses listed on the checks, or they can be batch-mailed back to your office in one economical bundle, if that is preferred. Checkeeper offers four priority delivery methods to suit varying time and urgency payment needs, and Checkeeper can attain tracking numbers for your mailings when you want that added layer of security and accountability. Have an unusually large order of checks needed, for customer rebates or refunds, for instance? Checkeeper has processed high-volume orders for companies of all sizes and types and can take on any sized order. A call or email directly to Checkeeper will get you a custom quote and time frame for a high-volume order so that your time and office resources can be spent elsewhere.

Bill to check conversion through Xero or Odoo

Instead of filling out dozens of checks payable to each vendor every month or quarter, take advantage of Checkeeper’s bill-to-check conversion feature that allows users to import unpaid invoices directly from their Odoo or Xero account and have checks automatically created. Adding Checkeeper to those accounts allows the software to create checks payable to vendors with check fields automatically populated with data from the unpaid invoices.  Multiple payments due to the same vendor will be automatically consolidated into a single check for more streamlined records and reduced paperwork. Checks contain invoice tables to break down the total so that bookkeeping for both payer and payee can be more accurate and better documented.

Multiple user access

Nothing reduces the hours you spend bookkeeping more than just having someone else do it. Whether you outsource some of the work to a bookkeeper or have a partner or employee assist with the payment process, Checkeeper makes multi-user access much easier than it has ever been in the past. Instead of attempting to share checkbooks, registries, and financial records among various people and office locations, take advantage of online, cloud-based software that gives everyone access at once and tracks each user’s access so that everyone remains accountable. Inside your ‘Administration’ page, indicate names and emails of users you want Checkeeper to authorize to issue payments on your business’s behalf. Checkeeper emails authorized users a link that prompts a sign-up, and allows new users to securely unlock the check printing and mailing features within the account. Set the user permissions to suit your needs, limiting them to only those designated features. Change, expand, or revoke permissions at any time, and add more users when the need arises. Have multiple businesses attached to your Checkeeper account? Specify which businesses each user is authorized to access so that you can delegate bookkeeping work with as much security and accountability as possible.
