How Vendor Onboarding W9-1099 Chaser by Mypowerly works
Show full descriptionShow less
Note: This plugin is currently in beta stage. Features and functionality may evolve as we continue development.
Stop chasing vendors for W-9s. Automate it inside WordPress.
If your WordPress site pays affiliates, contractors, or vendors — you are legally required to collect a signed W-9 before issuing a 1099 at year-end. Most store owners handle this over email, in spreadsheets, or not at all — until the IRS deadline hits.
⚠️ One missing W-9 can trigger an IRS penalty of $310 per form. Intentional disregard carries penalties with no maximum cap.
W-9 1099 Chaser is the only WordPress-native plugin that automates the full compliance workflow — from the first W-9 request to the final IRS e-file — without a single data export or CSV upload.
This plugin is currently in beta. We’re actively improving features and welcome your feedback as we enhance the platform.
The Problem This Solves
Without this plugin, collecting a W-9 means emailing a blank IRS PDF, waiting for your contractor to print it, fill it by hand, sign it, scan it, and email it back — if they ever do.
Not every contractor has a printer. Not every gig worker has PDF software. And almost none of them want to figure out how to digitally sign a PDF on their phone at midnight.
W-9 1099 Chaser lets your affiliates and contractors self-serve: visit your site, fill out the web form, sign it digitally, and download a completed W-9 PDF — in minutes, on any device, with no software to install. Your onboarding starts immediately instead of stalling in someone’s inbox.
Free: Standalone W-9 Tool (No Account Needed)
Use your WordPress site as an instant W-9 station. No account required to get started.
Three Access Modes — Deploy the W-9 Form Your Way
Public Mode — The W-9 webform is freely available to any visitor. They can fill it out, sign it, and download their completed W-9 PDF at any time.
Protected Mode — Share access selectively via a PIN or secret key. Ideal if you only work with approved contractors or affiliates and want to control who can submit a form.
Private Mode — For internal use only. Only the store owner can access the form — perfect for generating your own W-9s without making anything public.
Free Tool Features
Electronic Signature — Built-in e-signature included free; no third-party tool needed
Two PDF Output Options
Official IRS W-9 PDF — auto-filled from your web form entries
Print-to-PDF version — a reliable backup if needed (consult your legal counsel on which format suits your use case)
Gutenberg Block — Embed the form natively in the block editor; no shortcode required
Shortcode Support — Works in any page builder or classic editor via [w91099ch_w9_form]
Responsive Design — Mobile-friendly; gig workers can complete and sign their W-9 from any phone with no printer or PDF software needed
Frontend & Backend Display — Responsive form accessible from both the admin panel and public-facing pages

Why Not Just Hire an Accountant?
An accountant charges ~$500 once a year and does nothing in between. They don’t chase your vendors in August when they go quiet. They don’t freeze a payment when a vendor crosses the $600 threshold without a W-9 on file. They don’t send a WhatsApp reminder on a Tuesday morning.
W-9 1099 Chaser does all of that automatically, year-round, without you touching anything.
For accounting professionals who want to stay involved — they can be invited into the platform and manage multiple client sites under their own white-label portal. We don’t replace accountants. We make them look good.
Security & Data Handling
Sensitive tax data (TIN / SSN / FEIN) is never transmitted through the WordPress plugin
Data goes directly to MyPowerly’s secured backend with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit
No background data sync — all transmissions are administrator-initiated
No ads. No hidden tracking. Full subprocessor transparency.
⚠️ This plugin does not file tax forms or provide tax advice. All 1099 filing is handled by the connected MyPowerly service.
MyPowerly.com provides the backend API, automations and workflow services used by the connected features in this plugin.
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.
What this plugin does
Includes a W-9 PDF fill/download tool (client-side) for convenience and easy sharing.
For advance automation and features:
Connects your WordPress site to an external MyPowerly account using the new External Connect API.
Automatically configures secure webhook endpoints for real-time data synchronization.
Lets administrators run manual, user-initiated sync actions (for example: site profile, team members, and payees / affiliates / vendors / independent contractors records).
Provides comprehensive webhook event tracking for all sync operations.
Optionally helps generate and embed a W9 data collection widget provided by the external service.
Includes built-in webhook testing and verification tools for easy troubleshooting.

It does not submit 1099s.
It does not file 1099 forms.
It does not provide tax advice.
Sensitive data handling (TIN/SSN/FEIN)
W9 – 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.

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.
Optional embedded forms (Contact, Newsletter, Pay Me, Client Intake, Power of Attorney, Contracts, Engagement Letters)
