Business checks on bottom are computer business checks with the check positioned at the base of an 8.5" x 11" sheet and two perforated voucher stubs running above it. This is the required format for DacEasy, agFinance, agPayroll, Countryside Data, and Sage MAS 90, which output check data to the lower third of the page by default. Your company name, bank name, routing number, and account number are pre-printed on every sheet before it ships. Free black and white logo printing on every order. 20 color and background options.
What Are Business Checks on Bottom and Which Software Requires This Format?
The check-on-bottom layout positions the check in the lower third of a standard 8.5" x 11" business check sheet. Two detachable stubs sit above the check, one for the payee and one for your records. When you run a payment batch through your accounting software, the payment data lands in the lower section of the page where the check fields sit.
Not every accounting platform uses the bottom position. This format is specifically required when your software defaults to outputting check data below the mid-point of the page. DacEasy Accounting, agFinance, agPayroll, Countryside Data, and Sage MAS 90 are the platforms most commonly paired with bottom-format business checks. If you've recently switched to one of these platforms and your current checks are misaligning, a format mismatch is almost certainly the cause.
If you're not certain which position your software uses, open your software's check printing settings before ordering. The format will typically be labeled as "check on bottom" or "bottom position." For the top-format used by QuickBooks and most other platforms, browse business checks on top. For the middle format used by Sage 50 and Peachtree, browse business checks in the middle.
Business Checks With Stubs on Bottom: What the Two-Stub System Does
The two stubs above the check in the bottom format serve the same documentation purpose as stubs in any other voucher check layout. One stub detaches with the check and goes to the payee as a payment remittance record, showing invoice numbers, payment details, and any memo data your software outputs. The second stub stays in your files as your accounts payable or payroll log for that payment.
For businesses that need a physical paper trail attached to every check, the two-stub system on bottom-format checks provides exactly that without any extra steps. The record is created automatically when your software prints the run. For operations that track all records digitally and don't need physical stubs, the business checks 3 on page format is the lower-cost alternative with no stubs attached.
