Vendor payment system for WordPress marketplaces
When you are juggling vendors, products and custom deals, a basic spreadsheet is not a vendor payment system, it is a liability.
Give your vendors a clear view of how they get paid
In a curated marketplace, you decide what gets listed and who gets to sell it. The hard part is making sure every vendor gets the right share when orders start coming in.
How It Works
Connect vendors directly to your catalog
Set vendors up as collaborators and map them to the products, bundles or categories they should earn from. When an order is placed, Siren checks which vendors are attached, applies the revenue share rules for that program and records what each vendor earned.
Turn earnings into payout runs in a few clicks
When it’s time to pay affiliates, you don’t have to rebuild the math.
See what was paid, when, and why
You can see when a payout was created, which affiliates were included, how much each received, and which earnings were covered. If there’s a dispute or an audit, you can open the run and show exactly what happened.
Vendor payment system inside the stack you already trust
Share revenue with instructors and content creators
Assign instructors or content partners to courses, memberships or lessons and give them a defined share of enrollments and renewals without leaving WordPress.
Handle multi vendor products and bundles
Support products that involve several vendors, such as joint courses or bundled offers, and let Siren split revenue between them according to the rules you set.
Tools to keep vendor payouts predictable
Siren gives you structure for building a vendor payment system, as well as the controls you need to keep payouts accurate as your marketplace scales.
Multiple vendor programs
Create different programs for standard vendors, premium partners, internal brands or house products, each with its own revenue share.
Catalog based rules
Set shares at the product, category or bundle level so your vendor payment system lines up with how your store is organized.
Multiple vendors per order
Attach several vendors to a product or program and let Siren calculate each vendor's share of every qualifying order.
Program scope
Limit vendor programs to the parts of your catalog they belong to so experimental deals do not leak into your whole store.
Special terms for key relationships
Give strategic vendors different splits or minimum earnings without rebuilding your global setup.
Earnings tied to real events
Base vendor earnings on the events that matter, such as initial sales, renewals, upgrades or other tracked actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by a vendor payment system for WordPress?
Siren connects vendors to your products and keeps track of what they earn on each order. At the end of a payout period, it shows you exactly how much each vendor should be paid, so WordPress can act as the center of your vendor payment system instead of relying on external spreadsheets.
Can I pay more than one vendor on the same product or order?
Yes. You can assign multiple vendors to a product or program and give each one a separate share. When orders come in, Siren calculates each vendor’s portion automatically.
Does this work for subscriptions and renewals?
Yes. When your commerce plugin supports recurring payments, you can choose whether vendors earn only on the first payment, on renewals or on both. Siren applies those rules when calculating vendor earnings for each period.
How do I change a vendor’s share without breaking everything?
You can adjust revenue share rules at the program, product or category level. New rules apply to future orders and payout periods, so you can renegotiate terms without rewriting your entire vendor payment system.
What happens if an order is refunded or cancelled?
Vendor earnings start in a pending state. If an order is refunded or cancelled, those amounts can be removed before they become payable, so you are not paying vendors on revenue that did not stick.
Do I need new payment tools to pay my vendors?
No. Siren handles tracking and calculation. You export vendor payout data to CSV and continue sending payments through your existing accounting, payroll or payment services.
