Can you run a referral program on North Commerce?
Yes. Siren is a WordPress plugin that runs natively alongside North Commerce, so a customer referral program lives on the same site as your store. Each customer shares a unique link, and when a referred friend completes a North Commerce order, Siren records a flat reward for the referrer automatically. Install the Refer-a-Friend recipe and start on the Essentials tier.

Referral program on North Commerce questions answered
How do customers get their referral link on North Commerce?
Set up a Siren program registration form. Customers sign up through it and receive a unique referral link they can share. Because Siren runs on the same WordPress site as North Commerce, there is no separate portal or account system to manage.
Is the referral reward a flat amount or a percentage?
A flat amount. The Refer-a-Friend recipe pays a fixed credit per referred sale, which you set when you install it. Whether the friend spends fifteen dollars or a hundred and fifty on North Commerce, the referrer earns the same reward. Flat amounts read more naturally to everyday customers than commission percentages.
Can I give the referred friend a discount too?
Yes. The recipe rewards the referrer, but you can create a North Commerce coupon and share it alongside the referral link in your sign-up confirmation. That gives the friend a reason to buy and the referrer a reason to share.
What happens if two customers refer the same friend?
Newest referral wins. If a friend clicked links from two different customers before buying on North Commerce, Siren credits the most recent referrer. This keeps the program simple for customers who should not have to think about attribution windows.
How is the referral reward paid out on North Commerce?
Siren tracks the earned amount as a commission, and how you pay it is up to you. Many stores issue North Commerce store credit, and on the Plus tier referrers can self-onboard Stripe Connect to be paid real money automatically. You approve rewards before they pay, so a refunded order never costs you.
