原文外掛簡介
Standalone W-9 PDF generation (free)
Use WordPress as a quick W-9 tool:
Fill out a W-9 web form.
Add an electronic signature.
Download a printable PDF and freely share with whoever requests it from you.
This standalone PDF tool is intended for convenience and is processed in the browser. No private / confidential information is either shared or stored.
Optional: Connect with MyPowerly.com for advanced workflows
For advanced workflows, an administrator can connect the site to an external API provider:
Official website: https://wp-1099.com/
Primary service used by this plugin: https://www.mypowerly.com/
Partner platform: https://wp-1099.com/become-a-partner
Support email: [email protected]
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.
Data Transmission Clarification
The plugin can function independently and does not transmit data automatically or in the background.
Data is transmitted to the external MyPowerly.com service(s) only for the advanced features when an administrator initiates a connection or manually runs a sync action in the WordPress admin.
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.
⚠️ 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.
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.
Lets administrators run manual, user-initiated sync actions (for example: site profile, team members, and payees / affiliates / vendors / independent contractors records).
Optionally helps generate and embed a W9 data collection widget provided by the external service.
What this stand alone plugin does not do
It does not file tax forms.
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.
External Service Disclosure
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.
The plugin provides limited standalone functionality (such as W-9 PDF generation) without connecting to the external MyPowerly service.
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.

Privacy
Privacy & Consent Summary (What / When / Where / Why)
What data is sent:
* Depending on the administrator-initiated feature you use, the plugin may transmit site/profile details (such as site URL, site name, admin email), team/user details (such as user email and role), payees / affiliates / vendors / independent contractors metadata (such as name/email/status/IDs and summary signals), and/or widget configuration/embed code.
* The plugin does not transmit taxpayer identification numbers (TIN/SSN/FEIN).
When data is sent:
* Only after explicit user action (for example: an administrator clicks Connect, runs Sync actions, or generates widget code). The plugin does not transmit data automatically in the background.
Where data is sent:
* MyPowerly service (primary): https://mypowerly.com
* Optional widget embeds: depends on the embed code you choose to generate and embed.
Note: If you use the widget embed feature, the generated embed code may load third-party scripts/iframes from domains controlled by the external service, such as:
* https://mypowerly.com
* https://wp-1099.com
Why data is sent:
* To connect your WordPress site to your MyPowerly account and perform the user-initiated sync and widget features you request.
Consent rules:
* Explicit user action: data transmission features require an explicit action (for example: an administrator clicks Connect/Sync/Generate Widget Code).
* No pre-checked boxes: consent checkboxes are not pre-selected by default.
* No auto-sync: the plugin does not automatically sync data in the background.
* No silent tracking: the plugin does not include third-party analytics/tracking scripts for visitor behavior.
This plugin sends data to external services only after an explicit user action. Depending on the feature, that action may be taken by an administrator (for example: Connect, Sync, Generate Widget Code) or by a site visitor using features you have enabled (for example: loading an embedded widget or requesting the W-9 PDF template).
No sensitive tax data stored in WordPress
The plugin is not intended to store completed W-9 form values, signatures, or completed W-9 PDFs in the WordPress database.
When the W-9 form is used, the entered data is processed in the browser to generate a PDF. If the user does not complete the flow, the data is discarded when the page is closed/refreshed.
The plugin may cache a copy of the blank W-9 PDF template (file bytes only) in a WordPress transient to reduce repeated downloads. This cached template does not include user-entered form values.
Data transmission
Data is transmitted to the external MyPowerly service(s) only after explicit user action (for example: Connect, Sync, Generate Widget Code).
External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services to provide specific features.
1) MyPowerly Service
What it is used for: API integration for payees / affiliates / vendors / independent contractors data syncing, plugin management features, and support-related functionality in the WordPress admin.
What data is sent: depending on the feature you use, the plugin may send connection / credential data during setup, payees / affiliates / vendors / independent contractors data, plugin and site information, and W-9 form data entered in the WordPress admin.
When data is sent: during connection setup and only when an administrator performs an explicit action such as connecting the site, running synchronization processes, or using admin features that communicate with MyPowerly.

Third-Party Services
This plugin makes external requests to the following services:
MyPowerly (required for connection and sync): https://mypowerly.com
Widget embeds (optional): depends on the widget embed code you choose to generate and embed.
Data Handling Transparency
No ads.
No hidden data collection.
Connect/sync actions are initiated by an administrator.
Widget Disclosure
The plugin includes a widget feature that can output embed code (for example, iframe/script code) obtained from the connected external service.
The widget is optional and must be enabled/configured by an administrator.
The widget may display on the front-end depending on your settings (auto display, selected pages, or shortcode placement).
The current widget feature is for embedding external widget code. It does not provide W-9 form entry inside WordPress by itself.
Future updates may expand widget functionality, including allowing visitors to enter W-9 information through the widget and transmitting that information to external services. Any such behavior will be disclosed in the plugin documentation at the time it is introduced.

🔹 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does WP-W9–1099 Chaser do?
