Zil Money has outlined its check printing and mailing service for businesses, including an API that brings those functions into other applications. Its September 2024 guide covers payment uses such as vendor invoices, payroll, refunds, rebates and gift checks.

The company says users can create a check online and request physical delivery through mailing services. The listed options include first-class post, tracked delivery and expedited services through USPS or FedEx.

That process separates online preparation from postal delivery. The service selected determines how the physical check is sent to the recipient.

For businesses integrating payments into their own software, Zil Money describes an API for check printing and mailing. Its guide also discusses designing checks with company logos and other presentation choices.

An electronic check option allows recipients to receive a printable document by email or text. They can print the document for use as a paper check.

The guide positions these functions as ways to manage established check-based payment workflows from a digital interface. Gift checks and rebates appear among the supported use cases alongside routine business disbursements.
