The verdict in three sentences
The Kolonell partner program pays as a percentage of the ticket sold, with a recurring layer that separates one-off income from a genuine annuity. The 2026 scale is simple: showcase 15 % + 5 %/month recurring, e-commerce 12 %, marketplace 10 %, institutional 8 %, paid via Wave or Orange Money within 7 to 15 days of the client settling. Your strategic call: chase volume with one-shot showcase sites or build a portfolio of high-ticket recurring deals.
The detailed commission scale
Each tier has its rate. The table below shows the payout on a typical 2026 ticket, excluding recurring.
| Tier | Typical 2026 ticket | Rate | Partner commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase Starter | 250,000 FCFA | 15 % | 37,500 FCFA |
| Premium showcase | 1,200,000 FCFA | 15 % | 180,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce Growth | 2,000,000 FCFA | 12 % | 240,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace Growth | 5,000,000 FCFA | 10 % | 500,000 FCFA |
| Institutional Standard | 5,000,000 FCFA | 8 % | 400,000 FCFA |
| Institutional Group | 25,000,000 FCFA | 8 % | 2,000,000 FCFA |
The recurring layer that changes everything
On showcase sites, the partner earns 5 % per month on maintenance and hosting contracts, for as long as the client stays active. It is small per client, but it adds up into passive income.
| Client recurring | Amount/month | Partner share 5 % |
|---|---|---|
| Basic maintenance | 50,000 FCFA | 2,500 FCFA/mo |
| Maintenance + SEO | 150,000 FCFA | 7,500 FCFA/mo |
| Premium maintenance | 200,000 FCFA | 10,000 FCFA/mo |
| 10 maintenance clients | ~1,000,000 FCFA | ~50,000 FCFA/mo |
| 20 maintenance clients | ~2,000,000 FCFA | ~100,000 FCFA/mo |
A portfolio of 20 maintenance clients therefore generates ~100,000 FCFA/month with no new sale — the definition of an annuity.

Fatou, an independent consultant in Dakar, focuses on high tickets. In one quarter she places 1 marketplace Growth (5,000,000 FCFA → 500,000 FCFA) and 1 institutional Standard (5,000,000 FCFA → 400,000 FCFA), for 900,000 FCFA in one-off commissions. In parallel she has placed 12 showcase sites whose maintenance contracts pay her 12 × ~6,000 FCFA = 72,000 FCFA/month recurring. The result: a passive base income covering her costs, even before the next big sale.

FAQ
Which tier pays the partner most? In absolute terms, institutional and marketplace: 8 to 10 % of a 5-to-25-million-FCFA ticket dwarfs a showcase. For volume and speed, the showcase remains the ideal entry point.
When exactly am I paid? Within 7 to 15 days after the client settles the matching invoice. The recurring share is paid monthly.
How long does the recurring share last? For as long as the client keeps their maintenance or hosting contract. A loyal client can pay you for years.
Is there a commission cap? No, there is no cap. The more clients you bring, the more your one-off and recurring income grow.
Do I have to manage the client after the sale? No, Kolonell handles the entire technical relationship and support. Your role is the introduction and, if you wish, the commercial relationship.
