Your vendor prefers a check payment? No problem. With Truss, you can easily pay bills via a mailed check right from your dashboard.
There are two options to pay bills via check.
a) If you know your vendor prefers a mailed check, you can select this payment method right when initiating the bill payment.
b) If you choose the 'Let vendor decide' how to accept the payment, your vendor can choose the 'Check delivery' option among other payment methods, including a bank transfer.
Step-by-step instructions
On the left side of the Truss dashboard, click 'Bills'.
Click 'Add Bill'.
Select a vendor from the dropdown menu, or click '+ New vendor' to send money to someone new. Enter the amount of money you want to send and a short description. Optionally, you can attach a bill on the left side of the screen and a due date for the payment.
Once the bill is created, select the 'Payment' button to pay the bill.
Enter the amount of the bill you are looking to pay. Bills can be paid in full at this stage, with the option of partially paying and fulfilling the balance at a later date.
Select the 'Check Delivery' option to enter your vendor's mailing address and send the check.
Note: If you choose the 'Payment Link' option, your vendor will still have the option to choose 'Check delivery' when accepting the payment.
Confirm a previous vendor's address or enter your vendor's mailing address where you would like to send the check.
Review the details of your payment. When you are satisfied, click 'Pay.'
The bill will be marked as (Partially) Paid and the check will be delivered within 5-7 business days.
Your contact will receive an email or text notification of the payment. You can track the status of this payment in real-time in the 'Bills' tab of your Truss dashboard.
