Siren Essentials

Create a Donation Per Purchase With Flexible Tracking, Rewards, and Partner Management

“How do I donate to a partner organization for every sale of their sponsored products?”

Siren turns a giving pledge into a donation per purchase program: every sale of a partner organization's assigned products credits them a fixed donation, tracked and paid like a commission.

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 program where partner organizations are assigned specific products. Every time one of those products sells, the organization earns a flat $2.00 donation. The tracking is automatic: Siren detects the product in the order and attributes the commission to the organization that owns it.

This is not a referral program. Organizations do not need to share links or drive traffic. They earn simply by having their products sell. Choose this recipe when your business model ties specific products to specific causes or partners and you want that relationship tracked and compensated automatically.

Who It’s For

Cause-driven e-commerce stores that want to donate a fixed amount per sale to partner nonprofits or community organizations
Marketplace operators who assign products to vendors and pay a flat per-product commission
Mission-driven businesses where specific products fund specific causes, and the store wants that tracked and automated

How It Works

You add each partner organization as a collaborator in the program and assign them one or more products using Siren’s owned products feature. From that point on, everything is automatic. When a customer purchases one of those products, Siren detects the product in the order, matches it to the organization that owns it, and credits them with a $2.00 donation per unit sold.

The attribution model here is “every engagement wins,” which is different from the referral-based recipes. In referral programs, affiliates compete for credit on the same sale. Here, there is no competition. If a single order contains products owned by three different organizations, all three earn their respective donations independently. Every product-organization pair triggers its own payout.

This makes the donation model clean and predictable: one product sold equals one donation credited, regardless of what else is in the cart.

How the Donation Per Purchase Works in Siren

1

Start with a ready-made program

The recipe encodes the pledge itself: a $2.00 donation for every unit of a partner's assigned products that sells. Once applied, the program is live and the donation rate is the only number you may want to change.
2

Define partners and eligibility

Add each nonprofit or partner organization as a collaborator, then assign them products through Siren's owned products feature. They earn whenever their products sell, with no links to share and no traffic to drive.
3

Set tracking rules

Siren reads each order line by line and matches every product to the organization that owns it. The attribution model is every engagement wins, so an order containing products from three organizations credits all three independently.
4

Customize rewards

Adjust the donation amount to match what you've promised publicly. One product sold equals one donation credited, which keeps the math simple enough to print on the product page.
5

Manage approvals and payouts

Every credited donation lands in the Siren admin as a reviewable record. You can verify, approve, and pay partners with an audit trail behind each dollar you pledged.

Why Use Siren for a Donation Per Purchase?

Traditional cause marketing 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

Most cause marketing software handles the storefront badge and stops there, and donation plugins rarely track which partner earned what. Siren treats giving as an incentive program, so the same system running your donation per purchase program can run affiliate or rewards programs alongside it.

Connect Your Donation Per Purchase 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 donation per purchase program?

A donation per purchase program commits a fixed dollar amount to a partner organization every time one of their designated products sells. Instead of donating a vague percentage of profits once a year, the pledge is tied to individual sales and tracked automatically, so you and the partner both see exactly what each purchase contributed.

How does a donation per purchase program work?

You assign products to each partner organization, and the system watches your orders for those products. When one sells, a fixed donation is credited to the owning organization, the same way a commission would be. There's no referral link involved: the donation triggers on the sale itself.

Why is the incentive amount 200 instead of 2 in the JSON?

The amount is stored in cents. 200 means $2.00. To donate $5.00 per product, set the amount to 500.

Can I set different donation amounts for different products?

Not within a single program. If you need different amounts for different products, create multiple donation programs with their own rates and assign products accordingly.

Do organizations need to do anything to earn donations?

No. Once you assign products to an organization, tracking is fully automatic. Siren detects the product in the order and credits the donation.

What Siren plan do I need?

This recipe requires the Essentials tier. Fixed-per-product incentives and product ownership are Essentials features.
