As a business owner, you may need to write cheques to pay bills or expenses. QuickBooks Online can help you write cheques and keep track of your expenses. Here's how to write cheques in QuickBooks Online:
Step 1: Create a new cheque
- Select + New, then choose Cheque. Choose the Payee from the dropdown menu.
- From the Bank account dropdown menu, select the account the cheque should withdraw money from. Complete any of the other cheque fields you need.
- Select the Print or Preview option if you want to open the cheque queue to print now. Or, select the Print later checkbox if you want to print the cheque later.
- Select Save and close to close the cheque window, or Save and new if you need to create another cheque.

If you have selected the Print later or the Print or Preview option, your cheque is ready to print from the print queue:
- Select + New, then select Print cheques. Load your cheques into the printer.
