Adding signatures to checks is a great functionality, dully.

Right now, this option is only available in QuickBooks Desktop. The online version uses a preprinted voucher that needs to be formatted for QuickBooks. However, adding a signature is unavailable.

As a workaround, I recommend affixing the signature manually to all checks after printing them.

Alternatively, you can integrate a supported e-signature third-party application. I'll show you how to find one:

1. Go to Apps and then select Finds Apps.
2. Type esignature in the Search for an app field.
   
3. Once you have found one, click Get App Now.
   

In addition, I've added these articles that'll help you find out what forms and supplies are available and what shipping options we offer in QuickBooks Online:

• Order Checks, Tax Forms, and Other Supplies
• Learn how we Ship and Handle Orders for Checks and Other Supplies

I'm still all ears if you need further assistance with your checks and othe expense transactions. Just add your reply below, and I'll circle back to help you.

This option no longer appears to be in Desktop. There is no 'printer setup' option under the File menu. Please provide updated guidance on how to add signatures to checks in Quickbooks.

Good morning, @stevenj. 

Thanks for hopping on this thread about adding signatures to checks in QB. 

Since you're not able to see the option under file, can you provide me with a screenshot of the options you do have listed under file in your company? 

In the meantime, review this guide about creating and using electronic signatures in QBDT. 

I'll be waiting for your response!

RE: Adding signatures to checks is a great functionality, dully.

It is great that you know this. You should tell someone who can do something about it.

QuickBooks Desktop has had this ability for 20 years.

Intuit continues to insist that QuickBooks Online is a reasonable replacement for QuickBooks Desktop. This is one of the few hundred or so reasons it isn't.

Please see attached image.

I am now using "ZipBooks". I no longer need to print many checks at once, so I don't know whether I have that function.

I experimented with Xero, and with Freshbooks but found them inadequate for various reasons.

ZipBooks has a free version, but you get useful functionality for $35 a month ($420 / year).

(I abandoned Quickbooks Desktop a year ago, since it was up to $1,000 per year, I no longer needed advanced functionality, and I was fed up with the failing Tech Support responses.)

Somewhere I read that an ONLINE app is NOT ALLOWED to place a signature onto a check, because that constitutes having a computer program sign a contract/legal document (the check). Might be true.

BTW, since posting my flaming complaints about QB here, I am racking up "Kudos" and "Badges" for my popular  "contributions" to Intuit and its community. (Likely to get a "Badge" for this one, recommending a competitor.)

Carry on, my friends.

That doesn't appear to be a screenshot of QuickBooks Desktop:

What exact product are you using?

This is the desktop app version of QuickBooks Online 3.1.4

@stevenj 

Oh, I see. That's not QuickBooks Desktop.

Given that QuickBooks Online doesn't have the ability to print a signature, its Desktop shell app doesn't either.
