The verdict in three sentences
Most affiliate programs lock you into one product with a fixed rate and a cap. The Kolonell business-referral program pays across four product lines — vitrine, e-commerce, marketplace, institutional — plus a 5% recurring share on vitrine maintenance. The result: a partner who mixes poles builds both immediate cash and recurring income, with no earnings cap.
One program, four poles, one payout
The strength of the Kolonell model is diversification. You are not forced to sell only 250,000 FCFA showcase sites: depending on your network, you can steer a merchant toward e-commerce, an entrepreneur toward a marketplace, or a managing director toward an institutional project. Each deal type has its own rate, calibrated to ticket size.
| Pole | 2026 ticket (FCFA) | Commission | Per-deal earning (FCFA) | Recurring |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vitrine | 250,000 – 1,200,000 | 15% | 37,500 – 180,000 | 5% maintenance |
| E-commerce | 1,000,000 – 6,000,000 | 12% | 120,000 – 720,000 | possible add-ons |
| Marketplace | 2,500,000 – 20,000,000+ | 10% | 250,000 – 2,000,000+ | per contract |
| Institutional | 5,000,000 – 60,000,000+ | 8% | 400,000 – 4,800,000+ | long maintenance |
The 5% recurring on vitrine maintenance (50,000 – 300,000 FCFA/month) is the detail partners underestimate: it turns a one-off sale into a small monthly income that stacks client after client.
Attribution and payout: how it works
The 2026 rules are deliberately simple to avoid attribution disputes.
| Item | 2026 rule (order of magnitude) |
|---|---|
| Attribution | First partner to present the qualified lead |
| Attribution window | 90 days after the introduction |
| Payout trigger | On client deposit received (30-50%) |
| Commission balance | On final project payment |
| Payment method | Wave / Orange Money / bank transfer |
| Payment delay | 7 days after Kolonell receives funds |
| Cap | None |
| Vitrine recurring | 5% while the maintenance contract runs |
No exclusivity is required: you stay free to refer business elsewhere, but the Kolonell multi-pole mix is often more profitable than a single-product program.

Fatou, a freelance consultant in Dakar, activates her network over one month. She brings 2 vitrines (Growth at 500,000 FCFA), 1 e-commerce (Starter at 1,200,000 FCFA) and signs 1 maintenance contract at 100,000 FCFA/month.
- Vitrines: 2 × 500,000 × 15% = 150,000 FCFA
- E-commerce: 1,200,000 × 12% = 144,000 FCFA
- Recurring maintenance: 100,000 × 5% = 5,000 FCFA/month
Month 1: 294,000 FCFA in commissions, plus 5,000 FCFA/month that keeps arriving while the contract runs. Repeat the mix and her recurring income grows with no new effort.
FAQ
Do I need to be a developer to become a partner? No. You provide the introduction and context; Kolonell handles the technical sale, the quote, production and delivery. Your value is the network and the trust.
Is there a commission cap? None. Whether you bring one deal or twenty in a month, each signed deal is paid at its rate (8% to 15%). That is what sets the program apart from capped affiliate schemes.
When exactly am I paid? A first share as soon as the client deposit lands (often 30-50% of the project), the balance on final payment, within about 7 days, via Wave, Orange Money or bank transfer.
Can I stack several poles in the same month? Yes, and that is the point: mixing a 10% marketplace with two 15% vitrines smooths your income between rare big tickets and frequent small ones.
How is attribution settled if two people know the client? The first partner to present a qualified lead is credited, within a 90-day window. Traceability of the introduction wins.
