Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover
OCW has met all my payroll and check printing needs.
Pros
Online Check Writer, or simply OCW, is a web-based platform that has expanded from its orignal purpose of creating and printing checks. Users will find that the platform still excels in its original function, and should not be faced with too steep of a learning curve when they start out with the easy-to-use web platform. OCW has continued to develop and improve the check printing features, placing them first-in-class for check printing, while maintaining reasonable fees.
Today's OCW offers far more than simply check printing. They have vastly expanded their offerings to include integration with all popular accounting software, added a powerful payroll management feature, and even integrated business banking accounts, payment processing, and ACH features such as direct deposit.
While the customer service can be difficult to reach and often subpar in the assistance offered, users who have some accounting familiarity or those with time enough to employ self-help features, will find the services offered to be unparalleled at the price offered. OCW is a true contender in a banking and accounting all-in-one solution for small businesses.
Cons
The customer service is minimally responsive and does not follow-through.

Easy to use and can be used anywhere
Pros
You can easily know when, where and how much you have used at any time, even if you do not record separately, and it is easy to use and can be used anywhere.
Cons
Occasionally, when there is a change in the position of what I have designed, I have to go back into the design and adjust it.

Software does not completely work
I have used them for the last few years to print off checks. This past year I used them to not only print off checks but also to help me interact better with the Quickbooks so it will accurately record information. OCW does not interact like it should with quickbooks.
Also I spent the entire year paying out thinking that the 1099s could be printed accurately with the software. When I went to print them off the date said 2024 which was wrong, there was no tax ID number on the forms, and the amounts were not accurate. This caused and is still causing a huge problem which in turn caused us to be late on filing our 1099s.
I cannot recommend this company due to the fact they are not ready for this type of work. I hope they will fix our issues and compensate us for the loss and damages caused by their software.
Pros
Does allow you to print checks. But to be honest the is all the pros. It doesn't keep good accurate records
Cons
Reporting is not accurate
1099s are not accurate. The amount on the 1099s do not match the dates of payments.
Does not interact with quickbooks accurately.
Mailing out physical checks from their system half the time does not reach the destination.

Easy Check writing
Totally positive
Pros
This is a nice and easy product to use. I use it once a week or so and there is no refresh time needed
Cons
Took a bit or wrangling to get the check function to print what I wanted as there are a lot of pre-installed entries and I have pre printed checks
