CPA-Accredited Cheques From Print & Cheques Now Work With QuickBooks
Print & Cheques Now's CPA-accredited cheque stock is now compatible with QuickBooks, giving businesses a third-party option for printing payable and payrol
Businesses that print cheques through QuickBooks now have another supply option: CPA-accredited cheque stock from Print & Cheques Now is confirmed to work with QuickBooks desktop and online cheque-printing workflows.
What CPA Accreditation Means
The Canadian Payments Association (CPA) sets the technical specifications that cheque paper and magnetic ink must meet for reliable processing through Canada’s clearing system. CPA-accredited cheques include the required security features — such as micro-printing, watermarks, and chemical-reactive paper — and conform to the layout standards financial institutions use when scanning and clearing physical cheques.
Using non-accredited stock can lead to rejected deposits, manual processing delays, or mismatched alignment when printed from accounting software.
How This Fits a QuickBooks Workflow
QuickBooks lets users print payable cheques, payroll cheques, and expense reimbursements directly onto blank or pre-printed cheque stock. The key compatibility factors are:
- Alignment — QuickBooks’ cheque-printing dialog lets you nudge vertical and horizontal positioning so the payee, date, amount, and memo land inside the printed zones.
- Format — Print & Cheques Now offers the standard 3-per-page (top, middle, or voucher) layouts QuickBooks expects.
- Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) — if you print the bank routing and account number yourself, you need MICR-compatible toner for the line at the bottom of the cheque to scan correctly at the bank.
Practical Next Step
Before ordering a large batch, request a sample sheet from Print & Cheques Now, run it through QuickBooks’ cheque-alignment tool on a test payee, and confirm the print zones line up with your printer’s output.
