Siren lets you design multiple, specialized incentive programs from one WordPress site<\/strong> \u2014 affiliate programs, revenue shares, royalties, performance bonuses, and more, all from your WordPress dashboard. Learn more at sirenaffiliates.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n 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 Every program can also credit the content that influenced a sale. Siren's Blog Content Program<\/strong> awards a commission when a customer 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 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 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 Siren works seamlessly with the WordPress plugins you already use.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to external services operated by Novatorius, LLC in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n When you open the help panel inside the Siren admin screens, the plugin fetches documentation articles from 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 When you import a program recipe from the Siren website, the plugin fetches the recipe configuration from the Siren Beacon service at These services are governed by the Novatorius Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Siren Cloud is an optional paid service from Novatorius, LLC that runs your affiliate programs for you. The plugin's Siren Cloud screen explains it and links to its sign-in and sign-up pages. The plugin does not connect to Siren Cloud and sends it no data. Moving a store to Siren Cloud uses a separate plugin, the Siren Cloud Connector.<\/p>\n\n This plugin bundles the following third-party libraries, each shipped with its license text:<\/p>\n\n The compiled React admin bundles shipped with this plugin (everything under To rebuild the compiled assets from the included source:<\/p>\n\n The compiled output is written to This plugin also bundles Select2 for specific extension admin screens. The upstream Select2 source is publicly available at https:\/\/github.com\/select2\/select2<\/p>\n\n\n 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Create as many programs as you need, each with its own commission rates, attribution rules, and eligible partners.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren integrates deeply with WooCommerce, including automatic order tracking, product-based commissions, coupon attribution, and full WooCommerce Subscriptions support for recurring commissions.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, on Essentials and up. A WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal order, an Easy Digital Downloads Recurring Payments renewal, a later payment on a LifterLMS recurring access plan or a North Commerce subscription renewal order counts as a renewal, never as a new sale, and each program that includes Renewals pays on it. A renewal pays the partners who earned the first sale, as things stood then. Later clicks, coupons and lifetime links don't move the subscription to someone else, and neither does a refund of the first payment. Two programs that both pay renewals each pay, unless you put them in a program group, which pays only the sale's winner.<\/p><\/dd>\n Siren's term for any partner who earns rewards through your programs: affiliates, content creators, agency partners, resellers, and more.<\/p><\/dd>\n 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n Visitor tracking records a lightweight engagement event; commission calculation and attribution run in background jobs via Action Scheduler rather than during page loads.<\/p><\/dd>\n 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren Lite is free and runs a complete WooCommerce affiliate program \u2014 unlimited affiliates, link and coupon tracking, automatic commission calculation, and a partner dashboard. Twelve of the built-in starter recipes work on the free tier. Paid tiers add scheduled distributions, overrides, and additional program types.<\/p><\/dd>\n Siren is built for non-developers. Pick a starter recipe such as the Basic Affiliate Program, apply it in a few clicks, and you have a working program with sensible defaults. No code, no separate SaaS account, and no per-affiliate fees.<\/p><\/dd>\n Where a traditional affiliate plugin credits a single affiliate per sale, Siren can run multiple programs at once and split credit across every partner who contributed, using the attribution model you choose per program. It also covers referral, partner, creator, sales-commission, lead-generation, and loyalty programs from the same plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren supports tiered programs where senior partners earn an override on the sales their recruits refer, VIP and standard rate tiers, and manager overrides for sales teams. You define the reporting lines and the rates.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren integrates with Easy Digital Downloads for affiliate and partner programs built around digital products, licenses, and recurring revenue, including coupon attribution and per-product commission rates.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren works with LearnDash and LifterLMS, so you can pay affiliates for course sales, share course revenue with instructors, and run instructor royalty or revenue-share programs from inside your LMS.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Each collaborator can be assigned a unique coupon code, and Siren credits the sale whenever that code is used at checkout \u2014 no link click required. This is ideal for influencers who share codes on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Siren's referral programs give each customer a unique link or code and reward them, often in store credit, when a friend they refer makes a purchase. You can also run flat-bounty B2B referral programs.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. WooCommerce is the deepest integration, but Siren also works with Easy Digital Downloads, North Commerce, LearnDash, LifterLMS, and form plugins like Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms \u2014 so you can track sales, course enrollments, or lead submissions.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhy Siren?<\/h4>\n\n
