:: Quick Hints ::

The Optional Multiple Payees function allows you are your customers to select from a drop-down list of company names to which the check will be made payable. For instance, the initial check for a new insurance policy may have to be made payable to the issuing insurance company - and not the agency. An agency may deal with multiple such companies and therefore may need to have the ability to accept checks made payable to different company names.

Please Note: A request for the Multiple Payees function usually requires additional business verification from us before the option is granted.

:: Using the Optional Multiple Payees Function ::

Another optional upgrade to the base system is the ability to accept checks for multiple payees (different company names).

This feature is useful if you need to accept checks made payable to different companies. For instance, you may do business under two or more DBA's. Or, as in the case with some insurance agencies, the initial check for a new policy may have to be made payable to the company that actually issues the policy - not to the agency.

If you ordered the Multiple Payees option, the Merchant - Edit Payees menu will pop-up a dialog box as shown below. Simply enter each company name as you would like it printed on the check - one name per line. The list is not sorted alphabetically - it will appear in the check drop-down box in the same order you have the Payees listed.

When using a single payee, that company name appears as the only "Pay to the Order of:" name on the check form. When using the Multiple Payee option, a drop-down box appears in place of the single company name. The check submitter uses the drop down box to select the payee name as instructed to by you.

The screen shot below show the Multiple Payee drop-down selection as it appears on the check form.

Please note that with the Muliple Payees options - all checks go into the same database. If for accounting or legal reasons, you need to accept checks for more than one company, and the checks/accounting/reporting can not be intermingled, then it is suggested that seperate Vcheck accounts be established for each entity.
