The verdict in three sentences
Becoming a Kolonell referral partner means earning a real commission on every project signed thanks to you: 15% on showcase sites, 12% on e-commerce, 10% on marketplaces and 8% on institutional. On top sits a 5% recurring cut on maintenance and SEO contracts, building passive income month after month. You handle neither production nor support: you introduce the lead, the agency delivers, and you get paid.
The commission grid by pole
Pay tracks each pole's average ticket. The bigger the project, the higher the absolute commission, even if the rate drops on very large tickets.
| Pole | Sale commission | Recurring | Typical ticket 2026 | Estimated commission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 15% | 5% | 250,000 – 1,200,000 FCFA | 37,500 – 180,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 12% | 5% | 1,000,000 – 4,000,000 FCFA | 120,000 – 480,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 10% | 5% | 2,500,000 – 12,000,000+ FCFA | 250,000 – 1,200,000+ FCFA |
| Institutional | 8% | 5% | 5,000,000 – 25,000,000+ FCFA | 400,000 – 2,000,000+ FCFA |
The 5% recurring applies to signed subscriptions: maintenance (50,000 – 200,000 FCFA/month), SEO (75,000 – 300,000 FCFA/month) and managed hosting (25,000 – 75,000 FCFA/month).
Concrete worked examples
Here is what real sales pay, at signing then over 12 months with the recurring cut.
| Referred sale | Up-front commission | Monthly recurring | Total over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase Starter (250,000 FCFA) | 37,500 FCFA | 2,500 FCFA (maint. 50,000) | 67,500 FCFA |
| Showcase Growth (500,000 FCFA) | 75,000 FCFA | 3,750 FCFA (maint. 75,000) | 120,000 FCFA |
| Showcase Premium (1,200,000 FCFA) | 180,000 FCFA | 5,000 FCFA (maint. 100,000) | 240,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce Growth (2,000,000 FCFA) | 240,000 FCFA | 7,500 FCFA (maint. 150,000) | 330,000 FCFA |
A single Growth showcase site therefore exceeds 120,000 FCFA over the year, with zero work after the introduction.

FAQ
How much does joining the Kolonell partner program cost?
Nothing. Sign-up is free with no volume commitment. You only sign a referral agreement fixing the rates: 15% showcase, 12% e-commerce, 10% marketplace, 8% institutional.
Does the 5% recurring last long?
It runs as long as the client keeps an active maintenance or SEO contract. On a 100,000 FCFA/month maintenance plan, that is 5,000 FCFA/month, or 60,000 FCFA per year per loyal client.
Do I have to sell or negotiate the price myself?
No. Your role stops at the qualified introduction. The Kolonell team handles the final demo, negotiation, production and support. You still get paid on the result.
When am I paid?
Within 7 days of the client's deposit or payment being collected, via Wave, Orange Money or bank transfer, with a clear breakdown of each commission.
