Connecting your platforms
We need read-only access to your data so that we can understand your past marketing and revenue performance, as well as your cash flows. This ensures when we talk to you, our offers are tailored to your business and the time we spend reviewing your business with you is as efficient as possible.
We never make changes to your platforms, even when higher permissions are required and our connection does not impact your store website, as we're using the APIs provided by the platform, not your site.
We ask you to connect 5 platforms to Wayflyer:
- Your eCommerce platform (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento)
- Your marketing platforms (e.g., Facebook, Google Ads)
- Your analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Your bank accounts
- In some instances, we may also ask you to connect your accounting platform (e.g. QuickBooks, Xero)
We use these to generate funding offers that are tailored to your business. You can always log back into your Wayflyer account and connect or disconnect these platforms at any time.
You can connect your platforms to Wayflyer during the sign up process or by logging in to your Wayflyer account at any time.
If you don't have access to one of your platforms, you need to find the person at your company (or your marketing agency) who does. Once you find out who this person is, you can then add them as a user to your Wayflyer account from within your Wayflyer dashboard. They can then log in to Wayflyer and connect your platform.Send us a message through our on-site chat or email us at support@wayflyer.com and we’ll help you connect your platforms.
No, Wayflyer has no impact on site performance. Our data connection does not interact with your site directly other than to obtain authorization to communicate with your platform provider. It does not inject any JavaScript into the site. It only pulls data asynchronously from your platform provider's supplied API.

The main way we determine how much funding we can offer a company is by analysing your performance by connecting to your eCommerce platform.
If your business doesn’t use those eCommerce platforms and you have revenue over $20,000 per month, just send an email to support@wayflyer.com and our team will be in touch with you to discuss your options.

Bank accounts
We need your bank balance and transactions for two main reasons. The first is anti-money laundering regulation. We're required by regulators to ensure we don't work with companies that launder money. We do that by analyzing your bank transactions. The second is for our funding decision. We take into consideration your business performance and financial position. To do this, we need all bank accounts related to the business.
We recommend connecting to your bank accounts directly. We work with Plaid and Basiq to integrate directly to your bank, meaning all you have to do is login following the on screen steps. We do not receive or store your credentials.
We support connecting your bank in US, Australia, UK, Ireland, and Netherlands, but not all banks are supported yet. Please try connecting, but we may need you to provide PDF copies of your bank statements for the last 6 months instead. These should be digital copies and not scanned physical copies.
If your bank account is in Spain, Belgium, Sweden, or Denmark please select the option to email bank statements and provide PDF copies of your bank statements.
Send us a message through our on-site chat or email us at support@wayflyer.com and we’ll help you connect your platforms. If you have a Growth Capital Manager already, you can reach out to them as well.
If you cannot connect, we will need you to send us PDF copies of bank statements for all business bank accounts.
Accounting platforms
You can connect your accounting platform during the sign up process or from the settings page. Once you select your platform, you will be directed to sign in to that platform. You will need administrative access - if you don’t have this access, you can invite someone else to complete this step.
Once you have logged in, you may be prompted to choose or verify the company that you wish to connect.
