Checkeeper Account Feature: Convert Bills Into Checks

Checkeeper offers lots of great features for printing and mailing customized business checks on demand, including some features you may have never tried. Checkeeper add-ons allow users to link Checkeeper to compatible accounting and payroll software so that check payment data can be automatically recorded and categorized in multiple platforms at once, ensuring optimal efficiency and accuracy in the recording and issuing of payments.

Linking Checkeeper to Odoo or Xero allows users to import data from unpaid invoices to be converted directly into check payments. Consider some unique benefits of connecting Checkeeper to Odoo or Xero to convert unpaid bills into check payments for immediate printing and mailing.

Why convert bills to checks?

Saves time

Cut the bookkeeping time considerably by linking Checkeeper to compatible software to help both services work together. Save a few steps by having the data from unpaid bills turned into check payments automatically with all the required fields filled in for you, and with the check record stored for future documentation and review.

Improves accuracy

Checkeeper’s bill-to-check conversion features reduce the likelihood of overpayments, underpayments, and duplicate payments by importing invoice information exactly as is, and by generating check payments that automatically add together all the amounts due to a single vendor. The attached invoice table breaks down totals when multiple invoices are paid, improving accuracy. All checks issued by Checkeeper are automatically recorded and stored in the online check registry for accurate records and reports that can be reviewed or exported later on.

Reduces paperwork

Checkeeper software will consolidate multiple bills due to the same vendor into a single check payment with an attached invoice table that breaks down the total. This reduces unnecessary paperwork and redundancy, and it assists in the check processing and recording for both payor and payee.

Tips for using bill-to-check conversion

To start converting unpaid bills into custom printed checks for quick mailing, register for a free Checkeeper account. Select the option to print your own checks, select your paper type, and enter your bank account and routing numbers. Now you’re ready to start paying bills.

From your navigation bar, go to ‘Add-ons,’ and select the compatible software that you want to connect. Odoo and Xero users who want to use check conversion features will select one of those applications, and the add-on will then appear inside the Checkeeper Create checks tab for easy importing and future use.

Highly recommended are the online videos that give brief but detailed demonstrations of linking Odoo and Xero to Checkeeper. The videos walk users through every aspect of adding the software, importing the bills, creating the checks, selecting which ones to print, adjusting totals, and selecting from the drop-down menu the proper account from which to draw funds. (Additional information about linking a business URL and generating an API key are also included.)

Adding some mailing credits to the Checkeeper account enables users to select checks once they’ve been created and order checks printed and mailed by Checkeeper directly. Checkeeper offers four priority delivery methods to make sure your bills are sent out and received as promptly as possible. As with checks you print yourself, checks printed by Checkeeper are automatically recorded and stored in your online registry for later reviewing and reporting.
