Why can’t I Print Checks?

If you are missing the Pay button on the payments page, a security feature likely requires additional setup on your profile. Below are the common causes and how to fix them.

Common Causes

  • Missing phone number – A phone number is required on your user profile for two-factor verification during check printing.

  • Missing Special Permission – Your profile may not have the Print Checks permission enabled under Administration > Roles & Permissions > Special Permissions.

  • Both – For security purposes, you may need both a phone number added AND the permission granted.

How to Fix It

Step 1: Add a Phone Number to Your Profile

A phone number is required so the system can send a verification code via text message when printing checks.

  • If you are an Administrator: Go to Administration > User Management. Find your profile and add a cell phone number (you must be able to receive text messages).

  • If you are not an Administrator: Contact your Manager or Supervisor to have a phone number added to your profile.

Step 2: Grant the Print Checks Permission

An Administrator or Manager must go to Administration > Roles & Permissions > Special Permissions and add the user as an authorized user for Print Checks.
