Check supports the ability to generate reports containing information required to print paper checks, on a per-payroll basis. All non-direct deposit employee and contractor payments are included in this report. This functionality is available both via the API and in Console.

The report comes in two representations: a default option and a Checkeeper option. Checkeeper is a paper check printing + mailing service. While a full system integration is not yet available, the Checkeeper representation of the report can be imported into Checkeeper’s web app to print or mail checks. We’re happy to help you set up a Checkeeper account to make this easier to use.

The report also gives you the option to set the mailing address of the checks to the company’s address, or the address of individual payees.

On the Payroll Journal page, you can now download the paper check report for the payroll, and upload it to Checkeeper. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to download the report from Console and mail them out using Checkeeper.

Step 1: Go to the Payroll Journal page and scroll down to the “Employee and Contractor Payments” section.

Alternate: pull the report from the paper checks report API

Step 2: Press the “Download Paper Checks Report” button to pull up the paper checks report sidebar.

Step 3: Select the mailing address option, and press the download button to download a CSV of the report.

Step 4: Edit the CSV if required. For instance, if only a few employees require a paper check, remove the other rows from the CSV file.

Step 5: Go back to the Console screen and press the “Upload to Checkeeper” button to open Checkeeper’s import flow in a new tab. If you are not logged in, it will ask you to login and redirect you to the main landing page. To go to the import screen, come back to Console and press the “Upload to Checkeeper” button again, or press the blue “+” button and then “Import Checks”.

You should now see the following screen:

Step 6: Upload the CSV file from step 4. All fields should be automatically mapped. Scroll to the bottom, and set the Payroll Item and Contractor Payment fields to “Skip”. These fields are Check-specific and are not required to create checks in Checkeeper. Press the “Import Checks” button to create the check.

You should be redirected to the main screen, and see the checks you imported at the top:

Step 7: You can now either mail or print these checks. Select the checks you would like to mail or print, press the relevant button, and follow the prompts on the screen.
