Enabling check printing in Donor Fuse allows you to streamline your accounting process by generating checks directly from the platform. Follow these simple steps to set up check printing for any of your accounts.

Step 1: Navigate to the Chart of Accounts

First, log in to your Donor Fuse account. On the main menu, select Accounting, and then choose Chart of Accounts. This will bring up a list of all your financial accounts.

Step 2: Edit Your Account

Find the specific account you want to enable check printing for. You can use the search bar to locate it quickly. Once you find the account, click on the three dots (...) to the right of the account name and select Edit.

Step 3: Fill in Check Information

An Edit pop-up window will appear. From here, click on the Check Info tab.

Next, toggle the Enable print checks option to on. This action will reveal a form where you can enter the details that will appear on your checks.

Fill out the form with the following information:

• Company Name: Enter the name as you want it to appear on your checks.
• Address, City/State/Zip, Phone Number, Extra Line: These fields are optional but can be used to add more contact details to your checks.
• Routing Number: This is a required field. Enter the routing number for your bank account.
• Account Number: This is also a required field. Enter the account number.
• Bank Name, Bank Address: These are optional fields but can be helpful to include.

Step 4: Upload a Logo and Signature (Optional)

You have the option to personalize your checks further by uploading a company logo and/or a digital signature. This can be done directly from the Check Info tab.

Step 5: Enter Your Starting Check Number

Before you save, you must enter the First Check Number. This ensures that Donor Fuse will begin printing checks with the correct sequence, helping you keep your records accurate.

Ordering and Printing Checks

After you've enabled an account for check printing, you'll need special blank check paper to print on. Every time you choose to print a check, the system will automatically populate all of your account information onto the blank check paper.

You can order this standard blank check paper, which has one check per page and two stubs, directly through the system. To do this, go to the Expenses menu, then select the Print Checks submenu. At the top of the page, you will find a button to Order Checks.
