The verdict in three sentences
The Kolonell referral partner program pays a commission for every project you refer that closes. The 2026 grid runs from 8 % (institutional) to 15 % + 5 % recurring (showcase), paid via mobile money after the client pays. No cap, no entry cost: you make the introduction, Kolonell delivers, you get paid.
The commission grid by segment
Each segment has its rate, calibrated to ticket size. Small tickets (showcase sites) pay more as a percentage; large tickets (institutional) pay less as a percentage but far more in absolute value.
| Segment | 2026 ticket (FCFA) | One-off commission | Recurring | Estimated gain / project |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 250,000-1,200,000 | 15 % | 5 % (maintenance/SEO) | 37,500-180,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 1,000,000-6,000,000 | 12 % | 5 % | 120,000-720,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 2,500,000-20,000,000+ | 10 % | — | 250,000-2,000,000+ FCFA |
| Institutional | 5,000,000-60,000,000+ | 8 % | — | 400,000-4,800,000+ FCFA |
The 5 % recurring on showcase and e-commerce applies to maintenance and SEO contracts: as long as the client stays, you earn every month.
How the program works
The path is simple and commitment-free. You neither sell technically nor handle production — you open the door, Kolonell does the rest.
| Step | What you do | What Kolonell does |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Detection | You spot a need (site, store, platform) | — |
| 2. Introduction | You present the contact to Kolonell | Qualification and quote |
| 3. Signature | — | Negotiation and closing |
| 4. Delivery | — | Production and go-live |
| 5. Payment | You collect your commission | Mobile money payout after client pays |
The commission is paid after the client pays, via mobile money (MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or Paystack), based on transparent tracking of the projects you referred.
Mini case study
Amara, independent consultant in Lagos, a network of SMEs and merchants. In 2026 she refers 3 projects: a Growth showcase (500,000 FCFA), a Starter e-commerce store (1,200,000 FCFA) and a Premium showcase (1,000,000 FCFA). One-off commissions: 75,000 + 144,000 + 150,000 = 369,000 FCFA. Two clients take maintenance/SEO at 100,000 FCFA/month: 5 % recurring = 10,000 FCFA/month that stacks up. In one quarter, with no production, she generated nearly 400,000 FCFA plus a recurring stream.

FAQ
Do I have to pay to join the program?
No. Joining the Kolonell referral partner program is free and commitment-free. You are paid only on results, on signed projects.
When exactly am I paid?
The commission is paid after Kolonell collects from the client, via mobile money. For recurring, the payout follows the monthly rhythm of maintenance/SEO contracts.
Is there an earnings cap?
No cap. A single institutional project at 8 % on a 20 M FCFA ticket already means 1.6 M FCFA in commission.
Do I need to know how to sell or code?
No. Your role is the introduction. Kolonell handles qualification, the quote, closing and all technical production.
Can I combine several segments?
Yes: showcase, e-commerce, marketplace and institutional. A mixed network maximizes your income, between volume (showcase) and large tickets (institutional).
