How To Edit or Add Check Templates

Within Rentvine you have the capability to edit your check template to create the most personalized check possible for your company.

Below, I will show you the steps on how to get to your check templates in the global settings and how to effectively edit your checks.

First, click on the ellipsis next to your name on the bottom left corner of the screen and hit settings.





  • Under accounting settings, click on 'Check Templates" and you will have one there by default. Now you can either customize this specific template or create a new one and have both saved in the system.





  • Once you get to the template builder, you will notice a lot of different options.
    In the Check Template Builder, you are able to choose,
    • The Template Name
    • The Check Stock Type will be where the actual check is printed on the page.
    • The Offset, you will be able to choose the angles of the check if you like it to be Higher/Lower with Y offset and Left/Right with X offset.
    • The Details Print Option, choosing between truncated or print all. 
      • Truncated: If there are too many line items to fit on a single check, some will be cut off and the check will contain a message letting the recipient know that there are additional details missing.

        Print All: All line items will be printed on the check.

        If there are too many line items to fit on a single check, additional pages will be printed and the check portion of the page will be voided.




  • Now, below the "Check Template Builder," You will notice a lot of different choices you can add to your template. Once you click on a box, let's take "Check Number" for example, this will highlight which portion of the check you are working on. You will have the ability to select the font size/weight/width/alignment.




  • You can drag and place the location of where you would like the "Item" to be, so if you wish for the check number to be below the check pay amount, you just have to click on the check box number and drag it below.



  • Now we will go over the list of items on the left side and briefly explain them.
      1. Company Name: Will be what you currently have listed as the company name.

      2. Company Address: The Address where your company is based.

      3. Bank Name: Name of the bank you are associated with, where the funds come from.

      4. Bank Address: Address of the bank your account is associated with.
