Know exactly how each partner influences purchasing decisions. * **Revenue Shares.** Split profits with partners, co-founders, or marketplace sellers automatically. * **Performance Bonuses.** Reward consistent success by paying bonuses based on last period’s results. * **Royalty Programs.** Pay creators based on content performance, course completions, or engagement metrics. * **Sales Commissions.** Track and pay sales team performance with flexible commission structures. #### Partnerships That Collaborate, Not Compete 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. * **Shared Engagement Pool.** Rewards are divided evenly among all contributing partners. * **Performance Weighted Pool.** Rewards are distributed based on relative engagement scores. * **Top Score Wins.** The partner with the highest engagement score receives the entire reward. #### 10 Core Capabilities 1. **Custom Program Builder.** Design incentive programs without writing code. 2. **Recipe Import.** Apply a complete program setup from a template in one click. 3. **Partner Dashboard.** Partners get their own login to track earnings and payments. 4. **Automatic Calculations.** Rewards are calculated from your program rules. 5. **Multi-Level Programs.** Tiered reward structures for long-term partner growth. 6. **Payout Manager.** Send rewards through PayPal or bank transfer. 7. **Reward Stacking.** Combine programs for layered reward arrangements. 8. **Performance Bonuses.** Pay bonuses based on last period’s results. 9. **Product-Specific Programs.** Different reward rates per product or category. 10. **Coupon Attribution.** Credit partners through coupon codes, without link clicks. #### Deep Integrations Siren works seamlessly with the WordPress plugins you already use. * **WooCommerce.** Automatic order tracking, product-based commissions, coupon attribution, and subscription support. * **Easy Digital Downloads.** Affiliate and partner programs built for digital products, licenses, and recurring revenue. * **LifterLMS.** Share course revenue with instructors, experts, and partners from inside your LMS. * **LearnDash.** Reward instructors and partners for course sales and enrollments. * **Gravity Forms.** Turn any form into a collaborator signup, lead capture, or lightweight checkout flow. * **NorthCommerce.** Support modern, high-AOV offers and creator-driven launches. ### Third-Party Services This plugin connects to external services operated by Novatorius, LLC in the following situations: #### Contextual Help Documentation When you open the help panel inside the Siren admin screens, the plugin fetches documentation articles from [sirenaffiliates.com](https://www.sirenaffiliates.com/documentation). Only the requested article slug is sent. No personal data, site data, or tracking information is transmitted. Responses are cached locally for 24 hours. #### Recipe Import (Program Templates) When you import a program recipe from the Siren website, the plugin fetches the recipe configuration from the Siren Beacon service at `beacon.sirenaffiliates.com`. 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. No personal data or site data is transmitted. These services are governed by the [Novatorius Terms of Service](https://www.sirenaffiliates.com/terms-and-conditions) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.sirenaffiliates.com/privacy-policy). ### Bundled Libraries This plugin bundles the following third-party libraries, each shipped with its license text: * [Opis JSON Schema](https://github.com/opis/json-schema), [Opis String](https://github.com/opis/string), and [Opis URI](https://github.com/opis/uri) — Apache-2.0 * [Select2](https://github.com/select2/select2) — MIT * [Action Scheduler](https://github.com/woocommerce/action-scheduler) — GPLv3 * PHPNomad framework packages and Novatorius libraries — first-party code by the plugin author, distributed under this plugin’s GPL license ### Build and Source Code The compiled React admin bundles shipped with this plugin (everything under `frontend/`) are built from the human-readable TypeScript/React source code included in this plugin package under `frontend-source/`.

Navigate to Siren in your WordPress admin menu and click “Add Program.” Choose your commission structure, set the rules for how partners earn rewards, and publish. Partners can sign up through a registration form or be added manually. ### Can I run multiple affiliate programs at the same time? Yes. Create as many programs as you need, each with its own commission rates, attribution rules, and eligible partners. ### Does Siren work with WooCommerce? Yes. Siren integrates deeply with WooCommerce, including automatic order tracking, product-based commissions, coupon attribution, and full WooCommerce Subscriptions support for recurring commissions. ### Does Siren support recurring commissions for subscriptions? Yes. When a WooCommerce subscription renews, Siren can trigger a new conversion and award commissions to the attributed partner. Initial payments, renewals, plan changes, and refund adjustments are all tracked. ### What is a “collaborator” in Siren? Siren’s term for any partner who earns rewards through your programs: affiliates, content creators, agency partners, resellers, and more. ### What attribution models does Siren support? Siren supports shared engagement pools that split rewards evenly, performance-weighted pools that distribute proportionally to contribution, and top-score-wins where a single partner takes the full reward. ### How does Siren handle tracking performance? Visitor tracking records a lightweight engagement event; commission calculation and attribution run in background jobs via Action Scheduler rather than during page loads. ### Can partners track their own earnings? Yes. Siren includes a partner dashboard where collaborators can log in to view their earnings, track referrals, and see payment status. They do not need WordPress admin access. ### How are payouts handled? Siren’s Payout Manager lets you send rewards directly to partners. Approved commissions are compiled into payout records that you can fulfill through PayPal, bank transfer, or other methods. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1fe0862ea4dd920bfa928e8633440e218c4e45fdb8dd75cfcdfeed11c282b3dc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Plugin & Outstanding Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-outstanding-support-28/)󠁿 [Anita C](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mymothersdaughter/) July 2, 2026 A thoughtfully built plugin that’s easy to get started with. Alex was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made the entire experience even better. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/68341f99b441e86da94de993c67f7ff86d3a312364963005f6e7502731af4e62? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Sophisticated and Mature](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sophisticated-and-mature/)󠁿 [Sean Davis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sdavis2702/) July 1, 2026 Siren is on another level. I’d hesitate to call it an affiliate program because that’s a massive understatement. It’s much more than that. What I like about it most as a utility is that it encourages you to think about the goals of your project rather than molding your project to the utility’s limitations. You define whether the “program” is affiliate, referral, loyalty, or something you came up with yourself. And the “recipes” system makes it so easy to begin exploring various programs. Honestly, it’s a genius system that sits in a category of its own from what I can see. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/12491680e8cf95b777e5f5f4907b2235453fa53830b495b168503065e906bb13? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is what we’ve been missing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-what-weve-been-missing/)󠁿 [Armando J. Perez Carreno](https://profiles.wordpress.org/perezcarreno/) July 1, 2026 Talking from a development standpoint, if you’ve ever had a client looking for affiliate programs, referral programs, or even network programs, you’ve likely gone through the rabbit hole of the usual suspects (AffiliateWP, I’m looking at you), Post Affiliate Pro, etc. And if you’ve gone down said rabbit hole, you’ll have noticed by now that they just don’t cut it for anything ‘outside the norm’. Now what is the norm, you might ask? And I’m glad you asked! For some strange reason, all of the clients we’ve built sites for, seem to require an ‘unconventional’ affiliate program. Or so they would make us believe. In our mind, these programs look quite ordinary, and by all practical means, simple. Which is why it confuses me to see that none of the ‘big’ players in the space support what to me are common scenarios. Which scenarios you ask? Well, things like having an instructor get a commission off a course that they authored, even if they didn’t share the link for it. Or, if in a rep network, allowing reps to get a cut of their downline, regardless of who ‘shared the link’. Now, I’ve personally reached out to many of the affiliate plugins and they’ve all said what we needed was not possible with their system. Then I talk with Alex, and he shows me how dynamic Siren is and I’m hooked! I tried it myself for a client a few years ago, and it did everything we needed out of the box. Recently, however, we needed to do some deep customizations to a very unique program (which isn’t really unique, but perhaps unique to the WordPress space) and I tested Alex’s claims of Siren being extensible and well documented. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The fact that you can extend Siren to support custom engagement triggers, custom incentive types, custom calculation strategies, resolvers – is incredible. It was such a breeze to get things going without having to implement ‘hacks’ that will break on updates. And Alex’s support during the process has been outstanding as well! So if you’re on the fence, give Siren a try, you won’t be disappointed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/abbe779bc371b5592ae145da6319c7bf5eb7a5b11f397414fa926caa0e077a41? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The Affiliate Platform I’ve Been Searching For](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-affiliate-platform-ive-been-searching-for/)󠁿 [chrisbadgett](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chrisbadgett/) June 30, 2026 Every time I dig into Siren, I’m amazed at how powerful this incentive program tool is. It’s awesome for an affiliate program, but it does so much more including royalty programs, sales programs, lead generation programs, and so much more. If you want to grow your website with partnership programs, Siren is the most powerful tool out there. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/99d1be408441e14c9ff685cb243f4ee25f542d809dc3359f8cf8f15828dddd4e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thrilled](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thrilled-8/)󠁿 [gelform](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gelform/) June 30, 2026 Siren is fantastic. Intuitive, powerful, well-supported. I’m thrilled I switched from AffiliateWP.
