How do I add signature to checks?

Is this app no longer available?  When I search E-signature I am only getting docusign.

How do I add signature to checks?

Yes, the eSignature from DocuSign is currently the app already integrated with QuickBooks Online Advanced, tycalmc.

 

If you know other apps and want to use them, I recommend contacting our Intuit Developer Team. They can check and see if you can integrate it with QuickBooks. 

 

Here's how to get in touch with them:

 

  1. Go to this link: https://developer.intuit.com/.
  2. Scroll down, then click Contact us under the Intuit column.
  3. Click Ask A Question.
  4. Select your subscription.
  5. Click Sign In and enter your QuickBooks Online log-in credentials.
  6. Click Ask a Question again.
  7. Enter your question and click Ask.

 

For other QuickBooks Online versions, we have the capture signatures function on the mobile app. It lets the customer sign with their fingers. I'm adding this article for more details and how to use it: Capture signatures using the QuickBooks Online app.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need by commenting below. I'll be right here to provide the information that you need about adding signatures to checks.

But the Docusign app doesn't allow you to sign checks. Why keep recommending it when people are specifically asking about signing checks?

We have simply created an excel file with the signature.  It takes some time to format so that the signature prints perfectly on the signature line and it does require that you run the checks through the printer for a second time (Not great for laser printers) - but it is fairly simple to set up, takes very little time to print and we do not have the security concerns with the signature being stored on the Online version.

Thanks for this tip. We do some work remote, which worked well with Quickbooks Desktop. Online was pitched by Intuit sales as a good way to save money without losing functionality. We're a month in, still working payroll through Desktop (and having to double work reconciling check numbers because of it). 

 

This product is a disaster, they offer you significant savings and then tell you to go buy partner apps, most of which don't have near the same functionality.

I've been able to find a work around. I have a blank document that has my signature only on it, so after I print all my checks, I load them back into the printer, then just print the signature on it. Hope that helps!

How is it almost 2023, and this feature isn't available yet?

that's absolutely insane!

Buy a rubber stamp of your signature.  It's a one-time investment of less than $20 that will last for many years.

VKury- Would love to pay you for your home grown solution! You should sell it to QB because it's 2 years since you posted and they still don't have one! Seriously- respond if you are willing. Thanks.

the "digital signature" app either isn't available anymore or has changed names...

 

This is a very easy fix.. As I've coded things like this into our software... Maybe I'll just print checks from my software and manually enter them in QB... but not everyone can do that.

 

Intuit/QB -- Make a product that is actually function and performs like the desktop version, as you're obviously discontinuing that soon since you're pushing everyone to the online version. (and the Desktop version now crashes constantly on Windows 11.)

At this point, it is time to begin using this part of the forum to work together to evaluate alternatives to Quickbooks.  Users come here looking for help; we can serve them by providing ideas.

Intuit has given us their best shot ("download an app!"; "use DocuSign!") several times.  Clearly this is going nowhere.

There are many defeatured online accounting apps, including QB Online, and so we should compare features and pricing.  No sense in paying for a famous name, if it does not function well.

There may be a few installable apps; QBW is the only one I know about, and it is good.  But it is very expensive now. I stick with it because the "workload cost" of changing over is high, and I don't know of any fully-featured app.

Ideas?

It's been almost 18 months since your reply. Do you have any option to electronically endorse the checks I print from QBO natively without using a third party?

 

Or is this an example of abandoning things like you did with your own offspring, .iif format? 

 

Looking forward to an update, thank you.

Hi, @Sm28o.

 

I understand how frustrating it can be when things take longer than expected. Your time is valuable, and it's not our intention to keep you waiting for a solution. I know adding signatures to checks is vital to your business and would help many customers as well. Let me share some updates about it.

 

Currently, this option is still unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a valued QuickBooks customer, we'd love to have your input about the enhancements you'd want to see in QBO by sending feedback to our product developers. They can review your suggestions and consider adding them in future releases. You can do this by opening your QBO account, then clicking the Gear icon at the top and selecting Feedback. You can also utilize our Customer Feedback page.

 

Aside from looking for a third-party application, you can affix the signature manually on every check you’ve printed as a workaround.
 

Moreover, you can always visit our Help Articles page to look for helpful information that can guide you in achieving your tasks in QBO.

 

We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding on this. If there's anything else you want answers with, feel free to post them down below. We'll be here ready to help.

This is terrible, QBO. How are we supposed to run payroll remotely?! This is truly absurd in 2023 and you've been notified of the issue for YEARS at this point. What a waste of time and effort. I have spend the last 2 months migrating, updated, reconciling, correcting, phone calling, etc trying to get my file from Desktop to online only to realized Desktop, archaic as it is, is still better because you all won't listen to business owner customers to figure out how to add an e-signature to check printing. WHAT A WASTE and you aren't listening to your customers. We are all business owners and know what customer service means for a business. It cannot take TWO years of complaints to add a feature as important as this. I will be looking elsewhere for bookkeeping and payroll services, and our company has used you for years. Adios.
