1099 & Contractor Reporting for E-commerce Bookkeepers with Shopify
Run 1099 & contractor reporting on autopilot inside Shopify.
The Problem
January 31 1099 deadlines catch every E-commerce Bookkeeping firm off-guard — W-9s are missing, vendor records are inconsistent, and e-file rejections cascade.
What We Build in Shopify
AI identifies 1099-eligible vendors from QuickBooks Online, chases missing W-9s, prepares 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC filings, and submits to the IRS — January 31 becomes a non-event. Purpose-built for teams running Shopify — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Shopify Integration Approach

Build on the Shopify API or agent
Integration happens inside Shopify — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Shopify with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
