Hello steve23,

I can share some information about adding signature on a check in QuickBooks Online.

Right now, adding a signature to checks is available in QuickBooks Desktop and this feature isn't available yet in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I think this is a great idea and it would help many customer if we have this option in QBO.

For now, you can affix the signature manually on every checks you’ve printed or integrate a supported E-signature third-party application.

To check for apps compatible with QBO:

Go to Apps.
Click Finds Apps.
Type "digital checks/signature" in the Search for an app field (see screenshot below).
If you have found the app you're looking, just click Get App Now.

I've sent your request to our Product Developers. I'm hoping that you can also share your suggestions to them from your end. We're always looking for ways to improve QuickBooks Online and most of our new features come from our customers' ideas.

You can do this by clicking the Gear icon at the top and selecting Feedback.

Thanks for your input. Should you have more questions, feel free to let me know. I’ll be here if you need me.

so, to be clear, placing a signature on a check in your new online version is NOT available, correct?!

Yes, the feature to add a signature to checks is currently not available in QuickBooks Online. In the meantime, you can affix the signature manually as advised by my colleague @PreciousB.

Well, it certainly seems ridiculous not to be able to sign a check in a computer/web based application that also, it would seem, doubles as an accounting program. I do hope you have someone there that can come up with a way to do this seeing as IBM was doing it with the AS/400-iSeries 20 years ago.

Thanks for coming to the Community and for joining this thread, @VKury.

I can see that being able to add a signature to checks would be helpful to users, like you. As recommended by my colleague @PreciousB above, you can utilize a third-party application for now. You can follow her outlined steps so you can choose which tool works best for your business.

We acknowledge your opinion. And we are constantly looking for input and feedback from you and the rest of the users on how we could do even better. Not to worry, I’ll personally send this concern to our managerial team so they could come up with the best course of action to improve QuickBooks.

Let me also share our QuickBooks blog site where the latest news and updates such as features were posted.

Don't hold back to drop a comment below if you have other concerns. It's our pleasure to be of great help. Take care.

Yes, I saw that posting before and looked into the suggested E signature solutions. I don't know if all carry additional costs, but the ones I investigated did. I came up with my own homegrown E signature solution which adds 0 cost with minimal effort. Thanks for your effort all the same.

Is this feature available on Quickbooks Online yet?

I'm happy to shed some light on this for you, @Kylie Tippen.

Currently, QuickBooks Online offers basic functionality in creating and printing checks. What you can do for now is to add your signature on every check you’ve printed or integrate a supported E-signature Third-Party applications.

Here’s how:

Login to your QBO account.
Go to Apps from the menu tab.
Type in E-signature or a related search.
Click the magnifying glass to search.
If you have found the app you're looking for, just click Get App Now.

Let me know what other questions you may have on this or anything else within QuickBooks Online. Have a fantastic weekend!

Adding a signature to checks is a basic need, QBO needs to step it up and get this added. Hand signing when you print hundreds at a time is not an option. When I inquired of the sales team what QBO couldn't do that my QBDesktop could, I was told it could do everything. Day by day i find more and more that it can not do. Your team needs to be honest!

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.

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.

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.
