What it is
Checkrun is a cloud payment platform for businesses and accounting firms that need to manage bills from approval through payment. It supports vendor payments by paper check or ACH bank transfer, with remittance advice for electronic payments. Payment data syncs with QuickBooks Online in both directions in real time; payment activity and check images can also be attached to QuickBooks payments. Teams can set approval workflows, roles, and permissions, with approvals and check signing available in the mobile app. Checks can be printed on existing, preprinted, or blank stock, or sent through Print and Mail. The system generates Positive Pay files for more than 200 bank formats. Available on Android, iOS, and web, Checkrun offers customizable checks with logos, watermarks, and a QR code for authenticity checks. The Business subscription is $50 a month, billed monthly, plus a $199 one-time implementation fee. Local check printing and ACH file export cost $0.35 per payment; Print and Mail costs $1.95 per check. A 15-day trial excludes full-layout checks and Print and Mail.
