Paper Checks

Batch print paper checks

Print multiple queued paper checks in a batch.

This endpoint prints all specified checks, assigns sequential check numbers, and returns a merged PDF containing all checks.

Prerequisites:

All specified checks must have status ‘not_printed’
Use POST /print-later/ to queue checks first

Check number assignment: Check numbers are assigned sequentially starting from first_check_number. The order of paper_check_ids in the request determines:

The order of checks in the PDF
The order of check number assignment

Example: If first_check_number=1001 and you print 3 checks, they will be numbered 1001, 1002, 1003.

Returns:

pdf_content: Base64-encoded PDF with all checks
printed_checks: List showing each check ID and its assigned check number
total_printed: Count of checks printed

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

Optional. A unique value (a UUID works well) identifying this operation. If the request is repeated with the same key, the original response is replayed instead of the operation running again, so a retry cannot create a duplicate record. Results are replayable for 48 hours. Reusing a key with a different request body returns 422.

Maximum string length: 255

Body

application/json

Request body for batch printing queued checks.

Use this endpoint to print multiple queued checks at once. Check numbers will be assigned sequentially starting from first_check_number.

paper_check_ids

integer[]

required

List of paper check IDs to print. Checks must have status 'not_printed'. The order of IDs determines the order of checks in the PDF and check number assignment.

Example:

[101, 102, 103]

first_check_number

integer | null

Starting check number for this batch. If None, auto-assigns from bank account sequence. Subsequent checks will be numbered sequentially.

Required range: x >= 1

Example:

10001

template_id

integer | null

Optional ID of a PaperCheckTemplate to use for formatting. If not provided, the default template will be used.

Example:

1

Response

Contains the merged PDF with all checks and metadata about each printed check.
