The verdict in three sentences
The Kolonell partner program pays the referrer on client collection, with no cap and no exclusivity. Rates run from 8 % on institutional to 15 % + 5 % recurring on brochure sites, applied to average tickets of 500,000 to 10,000,000 FCFA. This guide details each rate, the timing of payment and the annual projection based on your referral pace.
The commission structure, pole by pole
Each pole has its rate, calibrated to ticket size and project complexity. Here is the full 2026 grid.
| Pole | Sales rate | Recurring | Average ticket | Average commission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brochure | 15 % | 5 % maintenance | 500,000 FCFA | 75,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 12 % | — | 2,000,000 FCFA | 240,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 10 % | — | 5,000,000 FCFA | 500,000 FCFA |
| Institutional | 8 % | — | 10,000,000 FCFA | 800,000 FCFA |
The brochure pole offers the best rate (15 %) and the only recurring cut: ideal to start with a short sales cycle. Institutional and marketplace poles offer high unit commissions despite a lower rate, thanks to large tickets.
When and how you get paid
The rule is simple and protective for both agency and partner: no client collection, no commission — but as soon as the client pays, you are settled.
| Step | What happens | Typical 2026 delay |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | You pass the qualified contact | Day 0 |
| Quote & signature | The agency prices and closes | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Client collection | The client pays (mobile money / card) | At signature or by instalment |
| Commission payout | You are paid by mobile money | Within 7 days of collection |
| Recurring (brochure) | 5 % of monthly maintenance | Every month |
Annual projection by your pace
Income depends directly on deals per month. 2026 order of magnitude, excluding recurring.
| Pace | Monthly mix | Commission/month | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 deals | 2 brochure | 150,000 FCFA | 1,800,000 FCFA |
| 3 deals | 2 brochure + 1 e-commerce | 390,000 FCFA | 4,680,000 FCFA |
| 4 deals | 3 brochure + 1 e-commerce | 465,000 FCFA | 5,580,000 FCFA |
| 5 deals | 3 brochure + 1 e-commerce + 1 marketplace | 965,000 FCFA | 11,580,000 FCFA |
At 5 deals a month with a marketplace, the projection exceeds 11,000,000 FCFA a year, not counting the brochure recurring that keeps stacking.

FAQ
Which pole pays the partner most?
By rate, brochure (15 % + 5 % recurring). By unit commission, institutional (800,000 FCFA on a 10,000,000 FCFA ticket). The ideal mix combines frequent brochure sites and occasional large-ticket projects.
Does recurring exist on every pole?
No: the 5 % recurring applies to the brochure pole via the maintenance contract. Other poles pay a single commission at sale, but on much larger tickets.
What if the client pays in instalments?
Your commission follows actual collection: if the client pays by instalments, you are commissioned pro rata to the amounts actually collected, within 7 days of each payment.
Is there a minimum number of deals?
No imposed minimum. Even 2 brochure sites a month already mean 1,800,000 FCFA a year. The program rewards consistency, not a quota.
Can I track my commissions in real time?
Yes: each partner has a view of their referrals, deal status and commissions paid, with the full collection history.
