Business Payment Solutions

  For a small business, check stock is part of an operating process, not just an office supply. Vendor payments, contractor invoices, rent for business premises, employee reimbursements, and recurring bills all place different demands on the people preparing and approving payments. Before ordering a large supply of checks, it is worth comparing that approach with preparing checks as they are needed. The better choice depends on your payment calendar, the number of accounts involved, your equipment, and the controls your team uses. A business that writes checks every week may value a ready supply. Another business may prefer to create an individual check when an approved request arrives. The following questions can help owners, bookkeepers, accounts-payable staff, office managers, property managers, contractors, and operations teams make a practical comparison. Start with the payment schedule Look at the next several weeks of payments rather than relying on a general assumptio...

  eCheck and ACH are often discussed together, but they answer different questions. This small-business guide separates the printable-check workflow from the ACH network process so you can explain each payment option more clearly.   If your team is deciding between an echeck and an ACH payment, the short answer is this: an eCheck describes what the sender creates and what the payee receives, while ACH describes the network movement behind an electronic bank payment.

In the workflow described by OnlineCheckWriter.com, the recipient instead receives a printable PDF check, prints it on plain paper, and deposits it similarly to a mailed check. The FAQ also describes eCheck processing as payer authorization, movement through the ACH network, and ...

Before you send an echeck, walk through the preparation steps below. First, confirm what the vendor means by “eCheck” The term can mean different things to different people. In the workflow described by OnlineCheckWriter.com, an eCheck is a check sent by email rather than printed and mailed by the sender. The payee receives it as a...
