This is a standalone plugin for printing checks on stock paper with Zoho Books integration.
- Multiple templates with JSON
- Multiple Zoho Books organizations
- No database required
- Lightweight < 500kb
Zoho Books does not provide a check printing feature which prevented our team from using this solution for one of our partners. We decided to use the Zoho Books API and create our own standalone solution that supported multiple check stocks and organizations within Zoho Books.
To begin using the plugin, clone the git repository and upload the files to a web server with PHP installed. This project does not require a database; instead you must edit the config.json file in the project root.
{
"organizations":{
"Zoho Org Name 1":"YOUR_ZOHO_ORG_1_ID",
"Zoho Org Name 2":"YOUR_ZOHO_ORG_2_ID"
},
"auth":{
"token":"ZOHO_AUTH_TOKEN"
}
}To create a check template, open the templates/example.json
{
"template":{
"name":"example"
},
"fields":{
"payee":{
"left":"13%",
"top":"12.8%",
"font-size":"12px"
},
"memo":{
"left":"10%",
"top":"25.6%"
},
"amount":{
"left":"86%",
"top":"13%",
"css":"color:green;font-weight:bold"
},
"written-amount":{
"left":"10%",
"top":"16%"
},
"date":{
"left":"86%",
"top":"9%",
"format":"m/d/Y"
}
},
"check":{
"font-family":"Courier New",
"font-size":"14px",
"padding":"20px"
}
}The template's name must match the name of the template JSON file. I.E. The template name for example.json should be "example".
Each field has a left and top option and are both required. These are used to aboslute position the check elements on your stock paper. This may required some tweaking to get perfect. We suggest test printing on blank paper and using a light source to compare the alignement with the original stock paper.
You may additionally specify a font-size for any of the fields individually. If you need more control over the fields, you may use css to provide any additional CSS rules.
