W9 or not for AirBNB cleaners?

[Dom Radcliffe]

Do we need our cleaners to complete W9 if they are independent contractors and prefer payment electronically via Venmo or Paypal? I read that for payments processed electronically (credit cards, bank transfers), we do not need them to fill a W9, and it is only required if we are paying via checks or cash. Hoping someone can clear this confusion. Thank you.
