Question

Printing signatures on checks

We recently switched to QB online and discovered it is not possible to print signatures on AP checks as we could in the desktop version. We have found a few other features, that are important to our daily bookkeeping, that are missing in the online version. We are considering switching back to a desktop version, but before making another rash decision, has anyone found alternative methods to print signatures on checks? Should we  go back to using a rubber stamp?

    Allow me to share some information about printing signatures on checks in QuickBooks Online, attainmentcb.

     

    Since QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online are two separate platforms, the availability of functionalities may differ for each program.

     

    For now, we're unable to print checks from QuickBooks Online. You'll want to use a third-party app that offers this feature.

     

    To check for apps compatible with QuickBooks:

     

    1. Go to Apps.
    2. Click Finds Apps.
    3. Type in the Search for an app field.
    4. If you have found the app you're looking, just click Get App Now.

     

    Also, having this feature in QuickBooks Online is indeed a great idea and I’d appreciate it if you send your product suggestions straight to our Developers for consideration in future updates.

     

    To send your feedback:

     

    1. Go to the Gear icon.
    2. Choose Feedback.
    3. Provide your comments and select Next.
    4. Select Skip and send a message.

    Thank you, TirzahC. I will submit a product suggestion and look at the 3rd party apps.

     

    Does anyone have suggestions for 3rd party apps to use with QBO for printing checks with a signature? It looks like some of the apps will do more than just that.

    I am also looking for this functionality.  I currently need to run my checks through the printer twice, the first for the check information and the second through a word doc for just the signatures.  I would also be interested in any other apps that would solve this problem

      Hi there, @Jasonvandame. 

       

      I appreciate that you want to have the print signatures functionality in QuickBooks. Allow me to help share insights about this feature to help you with your business.

       

      I can see how useful to have the print signatures on your check. Rest assured that I'll submit feedback directly to the Development Team to have it introduced. I also encourage you to add your vote for this one by sending a request to QuickBooks. 

       

      Here's how:

       

      1. Go to the Gear icon at the upper right corner of the QuickBooks page.
      2. Select Feedback under the Profile section.
      3. Enter your suggestion and click Next to submit.

       

      You can track your feature requests through our QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website. 

       

      In the meantime, you may consider looking for a third-party app. QuickBooks supports thousands of various third-party applications for any functionality you may need. However, we're unable to recommend which app to use. You can check our Intuit App Center and type a keyword in the search box. 

       

      You can also go to the Apps menu from your QuickBooks Online account. Follow these steps:

       

      1. On the left panel, click Apps.
      2. Go to the Find Apps tab.
      3. Use the search bar to look for an app.

      Then, pick the app you wish from the list. You may also read reviews from other customers to select which app fits your needs.

      Let me know if there’s anything else you need help with. I’ll be around ready to back you up. Keep safe, and have a great day ahead.

      We've been asking for this feature for over 4 years. The automated response about using a 3rd party app that does not exist is tiresome. This is the most basic of business functions, signing a check, why oh why haven't they added it yet???

        I FOUND A SOLUTION!  This might help some of you.

        I was able to add an "image watermark" to my home office printer, an inkjet Brother.  It took a short while to position and scale my signature image, but now when I print my checks, the signature is automatically there.  It only prints on the saved profile I use for checks so it doesn't show up on any other of my printouts.  QuickBooks Online should have this functionality, but maybe you can add it to your setup like I did.
