Pay Bills Faster With Online Check Printing

by Dawn

Pay bills with greater efficiency and time-savings than before by adding automating options. While you likely want to hold onto your money for as long as possible, paying bills late leads to increased costs, as well as other bookkeeping, credit, and vendor relationship problems. Online check printing can improve financial management by adding accountability, accuracy, and time-efficiency to the bill-paying process.

For those times a paper check is the secure, convenient, or preferred payment method, online check printing makes the process smoother and more accurate for small business owners. Some tips for getting payments out with greater speed and efficiency:

Convert bills into check payments automatically

Checkeeper offers an intuitive platform that can import and share data from other services for more efficient financial management that saves time. Linking Checkeeper with a Xero or Odoo account allows data from unpaid invoices held in those accounts to be imported into Checkeeper and turned directly into check payments for on-demand printing and mailing. Bills due to the same vendor can be consolidated into a single check with an attached invoice table, reducing paperwork, saving time, and streamlining the payment process for both payor and recipient.

Set user permissions for better delegation and workflow management

Online, cloud-based tools can give multiple users real-time access to financial accounts and allow authorized users to access and share information whenever and wherever it is convenient for them. Enter names and email addresses of additional users you wish to authorize, and Checkeeper will email each a secure link to complete account setup. Limit user permission settings to only designated features, and expand or revoke them at any time. Add an approval process, if needed, so that you can authorize important payments before they are printed and mailed. Remote, online access also adds efficiency to processing payments for those businesses that work with a remote bookkeeper who can access the Checkeeper account from anywhere, and keep all data automatically recorded and stored for later review.

Use priority delivery for check mailing

Users who don’t have the time or the supplies needed to print and mail their own checks turn to Checkeeper to take over the work. Checkeeper prints customized business check and has them out for delivery according to the priority delivery speed chosen, with the tracking option selected. Checkeeper also offers high-volume check mailing services that can get a large order of hundreds or thousands of checks out faster and more efficiently than most offices can do it. A call or email gets you started for large orders of checks for rebates, refunds, reimbursements, settlement payments, or other mass payment type.

Checkeeper integrates with many of the online accounting, payment, and payroll software used by small and mid-sized businesses. Using a Checkeeper add-on allows users to sync check data with other programs, such as QuickBooks Online and FreshBooks, to keep data updated immediately and expenses properly categorized automatically. Checkeeper can also be added to a payroll service to offer a custom check option for those employees paid by paper check.

Cut down on time but not accuracy

Financial management tasks, such as bill paying, expense tracking, and tax preparation, are well-known dreads and drains on business owners’ time. Online check printing offers a time-saving and more efficient way to get paper checks issued and mailed; Checkeeper’s smart check registry automates the recording and storing of check data, cutting the time needed for both issuing checks and for recording their details. It also makes locating a specific payment instant: search the online registry according to any payment field or date range to pull up an instant list of checks that match to narrow down and sort through. Checkeeper features give users more of their time back.
