\"Automate vendor onboarding - W-9 compliance & 1099 Electronic Filing (in minutes)\"<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Join our beta program to test advanced vendor onboarding features including:\n* Automated W-9 form collection\n* Contractor compliance tracking\n* 1099 electronic filing preparation\n* Vendor management workflows<\/p>\n\n For advanced workflows, an administrator can connect the site to an external API provider:<\/p>\n\n MyPowerly.com provides the backend API, automations and workflow services used by the connected features in this plugin.<\/p>\n\n When optionally connected for advanced features, WordPress is used only as an interface\/bridge for user-initiated actions such as connection, manual sync operations, and widget generation.<\/p>\n\n The plugin now features a robust automatic webhook system that seamlessly integrates with MyPowerly:<\/p>\n\n The plugin can function independently and does not transmit data automatically or in the background.\nData is transmitted to external services only for advanced features when an administrator initiates a connection or manually runs a sync action in the WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n Depending on the specific administrator-initiated action, transmitted data may include high-level categories such as site profile information, team member records, payees \/ affiliates \/ vendors \/ independent contractors metadata, or widget configuration data selected by the administrator.<\/p>\n\n NEW: Webhook Data Transmission<\/strong>\nWhen webhooks are configured (automatically during connection or manually), the plugin sends secure webhook notifications to MyPowerly for the following events:\n* Profile synchronization events\n* Plugin data synchronization\n* Affiliate\/vendor data updates\n* Team member invitations\n* Form plugin synchronization\n* Contractor plugin data sync\n* Accounting\/bookkeeping plugin sync\n* Wallet\/payout plugin synchronization\n* W-9 payee data submissions<\/p>\n\n All webhook data excludes sensitive tax information (TIN\/SSN\/FEIN) and uses HMAC-SHA256 authentication for security.<\/p>\n\n NEW: Google Drive Integration (Optional)<\/strong>\nWhen Google Drive integration is enabled by an administrator:\n* Data is transmitted to Google Sheets in your personal Google Drive account\n* Only data you explicitly configure for sync is sent to Google Sheets\n* Requires explicit Google account authorization with Drive and Sheets permissions\n* You must create Google Sheets in your account before connecting\n* Real-time sync occurs via webhook events when configured\n* No sensitive tax information (TIN\/SSN\/FEIN) is transmitted to Google Sheets\n* You maintain full control over your Google Drive data and can revoke access anytime<\/p>\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f This plugin by itself does not file tax forms, submit 1099s, or provide tax advice. All such functionality is implemented as advanced features inside our secure backend services provider.<\/p>\n\n W9 \u2013 1099 Chaser works in stand alone mode. Therefore it does NOT transmit taxpayer identification numbers (TIN), including SSN\/FEIN, to MyPowerly or to any connected MyPowerly platform. The plugin explicitly excludes common TIN-related fields from API transmissions.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to external services for advanced automations and features only. For such advanced needs, this plugin will not function fully without an account with at least the primary MyPowerly service listed below.<\/p>\n\n The plugin provides limited standalone functionality (such as W-9 PDF generation) without connecting to the external MyPowerly service.<\/p>\n\n Encryption is used to protect API tokens and administrator-initiated metadata during secure communication with the external MyPowerly service. Taxpayer identification numbers (TIN\/SSN\/FEIN) are not transmitted by this plugin and therefore are not encrypted.<\/p>\n\n For more information:<\/p>\n\n \u2022 Create and send W-9 requests individually or in bulk via CSV\n\u2022 Sync contacts from Google, Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail, Google Sheets\n\u2022 Send affiliate\/vendor data from your store\n\u2022 Auto-detect new affiliates and trigger W-9 requests\n\u2022 Direct integration: AffiliateWP, SliceWP, YITH WooCommerce Affiliates, WP Affiliate Manager, WC Vendors, Dokan, WCFM Marketplace\n\u2022 Heuristic detection: Affiliate for WooCommerce, Ultimate Affiliate Pro, Tapfiliate, Easy Affiliate, WP Affiliate Platform, itthinx Affiliates\n\u2022 Pre-filled W-9 forms using imported data\n\u2022 Custom logo, brand colors, and domain\n\u2022 Mobile-friendly, W-9 compliant forms\n\u2022 White-label portal for vendors and affiliates\n\u2022 Real-time request status tracking\n\u2022 Secure W-9 PDF generation and encrypted storage\n\u2022 Organized, searchable document library\n\u2022 Optional W-9 data collection widget\n\u2022 Optional live chat widget powered by Clicflo.com\n\u2022 Optional embedded forms (Contact, Newsletter, Pay Me, Client Intake, Power of Attorney, Contracts, Engagement Letters)\n\u2022 Administrator-enabled and configurable\n\u2022 Widget content loads from MyPowerly.com or Clicflo.com<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd39 MyPowerly Paid Features (Usage-Based \u2013 No Monthly Fee)\n\u2022 Automated W-9 requests via eCommerce and affiliate integrations\n\u2022 Multi-channel delivery: Email, SMS, WhatsApp, VoIP\n\u2022 Smart reminders and notifications\n\u2022 Secure eSignature and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)\n\u2022 Legally binding, timestamped audit trails\n\u2022 Compliance dashboard with signed\/pending status tracking\n\u2022 W-9-ready PDFs on demand\n\u2022 TIN Matching to reduce errors and avoid penalties\n\u2022 Optional 1099 E-Filing add-on with industry-low pricing\n\u2022 File electronically with no data re-entry\n\u2022 Discount codes available for special pricing<\/p>\n\n Privacy & Consent Summary (What \/ When \/ Where \/ Why)<\/p>\n\n What data is sent:\n\u2022 Site\/profile details (site URL, site name, admin email), team\/user details (user email and role), payees\/affiliates\/vendors\/independent contractors metadata (name\/email\/status\/IDs and summary signals), widget configuration\/embed code.\n\u2022 The plugin does NOT transmit taxpayer identification numbers (TIN\/SSN\/FEIN).<\/p>\n\n When data is sent:\n\u2022 Only after explicit user action (administrator clicks Connect, runs Sync actions, or generates widget code).
