The company sells a total of 78 styles of manual business checks divided into 6 categories and 7 types of computer checks divided into 5 categories. Customers are allowed to customize the checks, including in terms of the font, signature lines, and by selecting logos that can be added to the checks. The checks can be paired with “FraudArmor” an anti-fraud service which helps you retrieve your documents, funds, and checks, as well as “fully-managed protection” in the event you fall victim to fraud. FraudArmor is one of a long list of security measures that the company provides for customers.

Customization Options
When placing an order with Checks Superstore you have a table on the right side of the screen that reads “customize product.” Here you can pick the number of checks you want, the style and/or color you want, and add a logo. Adding a logo costs $1.99 per packet, but you are limited to selecting from the stock logos offered on the stie. While there are quite a few available, you are more limited than on other sites, which allow you to upload an image of your choosing to put on the check. You can further personalize the check by selecting a custom font and signature lines.
