Check customization [US]

We've now introduced field level customization in check printing. You can move individual fields of your check based on your requirements before you print them and add tamper proof important fields of your check.

You can now pay your bills using cheques in Zoho Books. This can be done in two ways:
1. Pay for a single bill from the bill details page.
2. Pay multiple bills at once from the vendor details page.

The cheque payment that you clear will be recorded in the Payments Made module.
You can customise each field of the cheque that is to be printed and tamper proof fields like account number, amount, and so on.

Are we able to embed HTML into our emails to make them look as part of our business ? Branding is very big issue for us and i would like to make sure that all branding efforts are carried across into the notification emails.. 2. Is there a way to preview the notifications that are sent out to our customers so we can make sure the look and feel is as we require ? thanks
