Hello,
If you login to the Settings > Merchant Gateway area of your control panel there will be an "Accept Checks" option that you will need to enable first.
Once that is done, then in each plan, you will need to set the Payment intervals. This is done in the Plans > Settings area.
Note: You cannot delete a Payment Interval you can only add or edit them.
Basically what you will need to do is to set that you will have a specific payment method for a certain plan, and then you can set that the plan has a yearly payment.
There is no way to force a customer to pay with a certain payment method if they choose a specifc payment interval. HSphere will allow any kind of payment you have enabled for all customers and plans according to how you have your Merchant Gateway settings setup.
The other option you could use is to setup a custom form that would post directly to your HSphere database. This way, in the javascript of your form, you could have the customer choose the payment interval and your form could force them to only pay by check. The only downside to this, is that once the customer has access to the HSphere control panel, they could edit or change their billing profile to use any of the other payment methods (CC, or paypal) that you offer.
Here is a sample form that you can download that has all of the javascript validation that you can use to post directly to your database.

This URL will allow you to download an example custom signup form; which includes all the javascript and support javascript files to enable proper validation on the form before sending it to HSphere.
