Bonus program on WordPress questions answered
Is there a WordPress plugin for performance bonuses?
Yes. Siren runs bonus programs through its Distributors feature on the Essentials tier. Track performance over a period and award a pooled bonus automatically, on the same site and engine as your affiliate and referral programs.
Can I run a bonus on top of regular commissions?
Yes. A bonus program layers on top of per-sale commission. A rep can earn their normal commission on each sale and still compete for the monthly bonus pool.
Can I run bonuses for an internal sales team, not just affiliates?
Yes. Assign each rep a personal coupon code, and Siren attributes their sales and ranks them for the bonus. It is built for employees as well as external partners.
How is the winner chosen?
By the rule you set: most revenue, highest engagement score, or a milestone reached. Siren ranks performers over the period and awards the pool automatically when it closes.
How does the winner get paid?
As store credit on Essentials, or real money through Stripe Connect on the Plus tier. The payout is calculated and recorded for you.
