site<\/strong> \u2014 affiliate programs, revenue shares, royalties, performance bonuses, and more, all from your WordPress dashboard. Learn more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirenaffiliates.com\">sirenaffiliates.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why Siren?<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reward what matters.<\/strong> Build programs around the metrics that drive your business, not just sales.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automate performance and payouts.<\/strong> Siren handles commission calculations and payments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reach new partner types.<\/strong> Specialized programs fit creators, agencies, influencers, and educators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Flexible Program Types<\/h4>\n\n<p>Siren gives you direct control over how programs are structured, so the software fits the partnership arrangement rather than the other way around. Start from one of 44 ready-made recipes, or build your own.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Affiliate Programs.<\/strong> Track referrals through custom links, coupon codes, or landing pages, with flat-rate, percentage, tiered, or override commissions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Referral Programs.<\/strong> Turn existing customers into a growth channel with refer-a-friend rewards, store credit, and flat-bounty B2B referrals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partner &amp; Reseller Programs.<\/strong> Run invite-only partner programs, channel and reseller commissions, and marketplace vendor revenue shares \u2014 for example, a 70\/30 vendor split.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creator &amp; Royalty Programs.<\/strong> Pay creators and instructors a royalty on every sale of their product or course \u2014 the Udemy and Skillshare revenue model, rebuilt for WordPress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sales Commissions.<\/strong> Pay a sales team with per-rep commissions, manager overrides, new-business vs. renewal rates, and monthly bonus pools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lead-Generation Bounties.<\/strong> Pay a flat bounty for every qualified form submission with Gravity Forms or Ninja Forms \u2014 no sale required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loyalty &amp; Rewards.<\/strong> Reward repeat customers with store credit and milestone rewards that keep them coming back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Every program can also credit the content that influenced a sale. Siren's <strong>Blog Content Program<\/strong> awards a commission when a customer <em>reads<\/em> a post, not only when they click a link \u2014 so you still capture buyers who arrive from AI assistants like ChatGPT and skip the affiliate link entirely.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Start From a Recipe<\/h4>\n\n<p>Not sure where to begin? Apply a complete, pre-configured program in a few clicks from the built-in recipe browser, then customize it. Popular starting points include the Basic Affiliate Program, Coupon-Based Influencer Program, Refer-a-Friend Program, Invite-Only Partner Program, and Customer Rewards Program \u2014 and 12 of the recipes run on the free Siren Lite tier.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Partnerships That Collaborate, Not Compete<\/h4>\n\n<p>Traditional affiliate tools credit a single partner per sale. Siren can split credit across every partner who contributed, using the attribution model you choose per program.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shared Engagement Pool.<\/strong> Rewards are divided evenly among all contributing partners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance Weighted Pool.<\/strong> Rewards are distributed based on relative engagement scores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Score Wins.<\/strong> The partner with the highest engagement score receives the entire reward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>10 Core Capabilities<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Custom Program Builder.<\/strong> Design incentive programs without writing code.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recipe Import.<\/strong> Apply a complete program setup from a template in one click.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partner Dashboard.<\/strong> Partners get their own login to track earnings and payments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic Calculations.<\/strong> Rewards are calculated from your program rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multi-Level Programs.<\/strong> Tiered reward structures for long-term partner growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payout Manager.<\/strong> Send rewards through PayPal or bank transfer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reward Stacking.<\/strong> Combine programs for layered reward arrangements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance Bonuses.<\/strong> Pay bonuses based on last period's results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product-Specific Programs.<\/strong> Different reward rates per product or category.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coupon Attribution.<\/strong> Credit partners through coupon codes, without link clicks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Deep Integrations<\/h4>\n\n<p>Siren works seamlessly with the WordPress plugins you already use.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce.<\/strong> Automatic order tracking, product-based commissions, coupon attribution, and subscription support. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirenaffiliates.com\/integrations\/woocommerce-affiliate-plugin\">WooCommerce affiliate plugin guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Digital Downloads.<\/strong> Affiliate and partner programs built for digital products, licenses, and recurring revenue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LifterLMS.<\/strong> Share course revenue with instructors, experts, and partners from inside your LMS.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LearnDash.<\/strong> Reward instructors and partners for course sales and enrollments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gravity Forms.<\/strong> Turn any form into a collaborator signup, lead capture, or lightweight checkout flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NorthCommerce.<\/strong> Support modern, high-AOV offers and creator-driven launches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Third-Party Services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to external services operated by Novatorius, LLC in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n<h4>Contextual Help Documentation<\/h4>\n\n<p>When you open the help panel inside the Siren admin screens, the plugin fetches documentation articles from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirenaffiliates.com\/documentation\">sirenaffiliates.com<\/a>. Only the requested article slug is sent. No personal data, site data, or tracking information is transmitted. Responses are cached locally for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Recipe Import (Program Templates)<\/h4>\n\n<p>When you import a program recipe from the Siren website, the plugin fetches the recipe configuration from the Siren Beacon service at <code>beacon.sirenaffiliates.com<\/code>. This sends only the recipe ID. After the recipe is applied, the plugin notifies Beacon that the recipe was consumed so it cannot be reused.
