What CheckWriter is

CheckWriter is a browser-based application for accepting check payments by phone, fax, or online and printing check drafts for deposit.

Properly authorized recurring billing can run on daily, weekly, bi-weekly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cycles. The application automatically validates routing numbers and includes customer and transaction records, customizable fields, notes, printable invoices, reports, batch printing, and CSV export. It can import information from shopping carts, order forms, and text or CSV systems. The maker describes CheckWriter Cloud as PCI/DSS compliant and says it follows KYC and AML procedures and complies with Federal Reserve Regulation CC, EPC-6, and Check21. The browser-based cloud product works on a PC, Mac, or tablet with internet access. Listed options include a CheckWriter Cloud Single User Limited plan at $8 a month and an Occasional Use plan at $25 a year, with four checks per month; its billing details also list a $29 one-time setup fee and $25 every six months.
