Do these questions sound familiar?

  • Should a member earn a referral reward when their friend signs up or only after the first payment?
  • Should an affiliate keep earning when the referred member renews?
  • What happens when a new member arrived through both an affiliate and a member referral?
  • Can ambassadors follow different reward rules from ordinary members?
  • What happens to a reward if the membership is refunded or canceled?
  • Should upgrades and renewals trigger a new reward or belong to the original relationship?
  • Can one community run referral, affiliate, ambassador, and retention incentives without separate systems?

One workflow behind every program

Different programs can use the same underlying operating model.

  1. 01

    Action

    A member joins, renews, upgrades, refers a friend, an affiliate generates a subscription, an ambassador hits a milestone, or another membership event occurs.

  2. 02

    Attribution

    Siren determines which member, affiliate, ambassador, contributor, or partner relationship should receive credit based on the program rules.

  3. 03

    Reward rules

    The program decides what that credit is worth: referral reward, commission, store credit, revenue share, flat reward, or performance bonus.

  4. 04

    Approval

    Review what qualifies before it becomes payable, or automate the parts of the approval process that do not need human review.

  5. 05

    Payout

    Track what is pending, owed, and paid, with the underlying activity connected to the reward.
