Create a Business Partner Revenue Share With Flexible Tracking, Rewards, and Partner Management
“Can I set up a revenue share with a business partner without tracking links or coupons?”
Siren runs a partner revenue share program the way real partnerships work: you assign each partner the customers they own, and every order those customers place earns the partner an ongoing percentage with no tracking links or coupon codes involved.

Siren is extremely flexible, and it opens up a whole world of possibilities in WordPress based collaboration. I recommend you try it out for yourself, and if you have any questions, the support is excellent.

Siren is so much more than an affiliate plugin with its multiple rewards structures. There's nothing like it on the market. Period.

Finally, a WordPress solution that allows you to turn your learning site into a Netflix, or Udemy clone. Siren is the future of affiliate marketing and partnerships for the eLearning and WordPress industries.

Siren Affiliates plugin has all the features I need, and the ones that I didn't know I needed!
It lets me track traditional affiliate referrals, but also, allows me to track revenue shares with my course co-creators.
And, one of the most important things I like most about Siren isn't a feature, but it's the top notch support provided by the development team!
I highly recommend Siren from the support to the plugin features.
Thank you for creating this, and at an affordable price.

I feel support actually reads and understands what is being asked, which is one of my biggest frustrations with most support teams in the plugin's business. Most support replies are scripted and not relevant to what's being asked. This is not what happens with Siren.

These guys are the best. The program is simple and easy to use and their support is very quick to answer questions.

Siren is fantastic. Intuitive, powerful, well-supported. I'm thrilled I switched from AffiliateWP.

I am thrilled to be a new Siren customer. Today, I created the first Affiliate Program for my LifterLMS site. This is an excellent solution for compensating content creators, and I can think of a couple of other use cases that I can't wait to try out! I highly recommend this product.

I purchased Siren Affiliates and had a one-on-one with Alex. I was really impressed with the product and all the features it has. He was really thorough. I'd definitely recommend this plugin to anyone who needs to launch an affiliate program.

Siren Affiliate Manager is an exceptionally well-designed and thoughtfully built WordPress plugin. If you're running an affiliate program with multiple affiliates, different transaction types, or custom engagement triggers that need to generate commissions, this tool gives you serious power and flexibility. What really sets it apart, though, is the developer. Alex has been incredibly helpful and willing to customize the plugin for my specific use case. More importantly, he was focused on creating real value for my business - not just billing hours. That kind of mindset is rare. The plugin is robust, flexible, and clearly built by someone who understands real-world affiliate program complexity. I can't recommend Siren highly enough.

What This Recipe Does
This recipe creates a revenue sharing program for business partnerships. Partners earn 5% of every order placed by the customers assigned to them. You bind a customer to a partner once, and from then on every order that customer places credits the partner automatically, with no tracking links or coupon codes. This makes it the right fit for formal business relationships where a partner owns an ongoing book of customers.
Unlike a typical affiliate program where customers click links and the system figures out who to pay, this program credits a partner based on who the customer belongs to. You assign each partner’s customers to them in the admin, or enable auto-bind on first conversion, making it ideal for co-founder splits, wholesale relationships, joint ventures, and strategic alliances.
Who It’s For
- Business owners with revenue-sharing agreements who need a structured way to track and pay partner commissions on attributed sales
- Wholesale and distribution partners who bring in customers through relationships rather than digital marketing
- Strategic alliance managers who attribute sales through internal records, contracts, or conversations rather than tracking pixels
How It Works
When you apply this recipe, Siren creates a program that credits the partner whenever a customer bound to them makes a purchase. Each business partner is added as a collaborator. You bind customers to a partner in the Siren admin, or enable auto-bind on first conversion, and because the binding persists, the partner keeps earning on those customers’ future orders automatically.
The “newest binding wins” resolver applies when more than one binding could claim the same customer. If a customer is bound to partner A and later rebound to partner B, the most recent binding takes priority. In practice this rarely creates conflicts because each customer belongs to one partner at a time.
The 5% default rate reflects a common structure for passive revenue sharing, where the partner’s contribution is introductions or brand alignment rather than active selling. You can adjust this to any percentage that fits your partnership agreement. Some revenue shares run at 50/50 for co-founders, while others sit at 2-3% for referral partnerships. Set the rate that matches your deal.
Commissions are calculated on line item totals only. Shipping, taxes, and fees are excluded from the calculation.
How the Business Partner Revenue Share Works in Siren
- 1
Start with a ready-made program
Formal partnerships are the target here: the prebuilt program pays out 5% of every attributed sale and carries no customer-facing tracking to maintain. The percentage is yours to change before you apply it.
- 2
Define partners and eligibility
Each business partner gets their own collaborator profile in Siren. A distributor, an investor, and a co-founder can all sit in the same program, each earning on the sales you credit to them.
- 3
Set tracking rules
You assign each partner's customers (or accounts) to them once, and from then on every order those customers place is credited to the partner automatically, with no link or coupon. The newest binding takes priority if you ever reassign a customer.
- 4
Customize rewards
The default 5% suits passive partnerships, but a co-founder split might run 50% and a light referral deal 2%. Commissions calculate on line item totals only, so shipping, taxes, and fees never enter the math.
- 5
Manage approvals and payouts
Every attributed sale lands on the partner's profile, ready for review and payment. Because the relationship is ongoing, the same partner keeps accruing their share month after month under one agreement.

Why Use Siren for a Business Partner Revenue Share?
| Traditional revenue sharing software tools | Siren |
|---|---|
| Built for one program type | Built for multiple incentive programs |
| Often limited to one reward model | Supports commissions, bounties, royalties, revenue share, and bonuses |
| Rewards usually tied to one action | Rewards can be tied to different measurable actions |
| Harder to manage overlapping programs | Program groups and rules control how programs interact |
| May require multiple tools as you grow | Supports different partner programs from one system |
Dedicated revenue sharing software usually means a spreadsheet with an invoice on top, or an enterprise contract you don't need yet. Siren treats a revenue share as one program inside a full incentive system, so the same install can later add tracked affiliate links, royalties, or commission splits alongside it.
Connect Your Business Partner Revenue Share to the Tools You Already Use
Siren works as the incentive layer behind the systems where partner-driven actions happen: your website, checkout, ecommerce store, forms, LMS platform, subscription flow, or custom workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a partner revenue share program?
A partner revenue share program pays a business partner an ongoing percentage of the sales their relationship produces. It's the structured version of a handshake deal: rather than a one-off referral bounty, the partner earns a defined cut of every transaction you attribute to them, for as long as the agreement runs.
Who should use a partner revenue share program?
Anyone whose revenue-sharing agreement lives in a contract rather than a tracking pixel. That includes co-founders splitting income, investors with a revenue stake, wholesale and distribution partners, and strategic alliances where you already know which sales came from which relationship.
How do I attribute a sale to a partner?
You assign the partner's customers to them once in the Siren admin, or let Siren auto-bind a customer on their first purchase. Siren then credits the partner on every future order those customers place.
Can I use this for ongoing revenue splits, not just one-time referrals?
Yes. The customer-to-partner binding is persistent, so every future order from a bound customer credits the partner automatically. This is true lifetime revenue sharing, not a one-off.
What if I want different partners to earn different percentages?
This recipe sets a single rate for all partners in the program. For per-partner rates, create separate programs for each partner or adjust the settings after applying the recipe.
Why is there no tracking link or coupon code?
Attribution is by who the customer belongs to, the partner relationship, not by customer behavior. Because each customer is bound to a partner, Siren already knows who to credit, so no link or coupon is needed.
Does this require a specific Siren plan?
Yes. Crediting a partner for every order from customers bound to them, ongoing and with no link or coupon, is lifetime attribution, which is a Siren Plus feature.
