The verdict in three sentences
Becoming a referral partner means turning your network into income without writing a line of code or managing a single project. The Kolonell program pays 15 % on a showcase-site sale + 5 % recurring, 12 % on e-commerce, 10 % on marketplace and 8 % on institutional. In practice, a Premium showcase site at 1,200,000 FCFA earns you 180,000 FCFA, and three sales a month exceed 600,000 FCFA in commissions.
How the referral program works
You know a restaurateur, a shop, a firm that needs a website? You introduce them, we handle quote, production and delivery, and you earn a commission at signature. No technical skill required: your value is the introduction and the trust.
| Pole sold | Sale commission | Recurring | 2026 ticket example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 15 % | 5 % | 250,000 to 1,200,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 12 % | 5 % | 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 10 % | 5 % | 2,500,000 to 12,000,000 FCFA |
| Institutional | 8 % | 5 % | 5,000,000 FCFA and up |
The rate drops as the ticket rises, but the absolute amount climbs: 8 % of a 5,000,000 FCFA institutional project is already 400,000 FCFA for a single introduction.
What you really earn per sale
Let us put concrete figures on each pole, based on our 2026 pricing, to see what a signature puts in your pocket.
| Project referred | 2026 ticket | Rate | Commission at signature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase Starter | 250,000 FCFA | 15 % | 37,500 FCFA |
| Showcase Premium | 1,200,000 FCFA | 15 % | 180,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce Starter | 1,000,000 FCFA | 12 % | 120,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce Growth | 2,000,000 FCFA | 12 % | 240,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace Starter | 2,500,000 FCFA | 10 % | 250,000 FCFA |
| Institutional Standard | 5,000,000 FCFA | 8 % | 400,000 FCFA |
On top of this comes the 5 % recurring on the client's maintenance, SEO and hosting for as long as they stay with us: income that lands every month, long after the sale.
Mini case study
Fatou works in events in Lagos and crosses paths with merchants and SMEs every week. Without changing careers, she refers 3 projects a month: a Premium showcase (180,000 FCFA), an E-commerce Growth (240,000 FCFA) and a Starter showcase (37,500 FCFA). Monthly total: 457,500 FCFA in commissions. On these clients she also earns 5 % recurring: if their average maintenance is 100,000 FCFA/month, that adds 5,000 FCFA/month per client to a portfolio that grows with every new sale.
