The verdict in three sentences
A referral program is only as good as its transparency: every introduction is attributed via a unique referral link and visible in real time on a dashboard. Kolonell pays commissions monthly by mobile money (Wave, Orange Money) or bank transfer, once the 25,000 FCFA threshold is reached. The recurring 5 % share on showcase maintenance is calculated automatically as long as the client stays active.
The journey of a commission
From introduction to payout, every step is tooled and timestamped. The partner never has to chase: they track everything from their dashboard.
| Step | Tool | Typical delay |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Unique referral link | Instant |
| Lead attribution | CRM dashboard | < 24 h |
| Quote sent to client | Partner notification | 2 - 5 days |
| Sale signed | \"Won\" status on dashboard | Variable |
| Commission calculated | Pole grid applied auto | At signing |
| Client collection | Payment confirmation | Client-dependent |
| Partner payout | Wave / OM / transfer | Monthly |
The unique link is the key: it ties the prospect to the partner from the first click and prevents any attribution dispute.
What the partner sees in real time
The dashboard shows the status of each lead and the running commission total, with no blind spots. The grid applied depends on the pole sold.
| Pole | Commission | Recurring | Payout threshold | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 15 % | 5 % maintenance | 25,000 FCFA | Monthly |
| E-commerce | 12 % | - | 25,000 FCFA | Monthly |
| Marketplace | 10 % | - | 25,000 FCFA | Monthly |
| Institutional | 8 % | - | 25,000 FCFA | Monthly |
| Recurring maintenance | 5 % | while active | 25,000 FCFA | Monthly |
Each dashboard row shows the pole, the sale amount, the percentage applied and the scheduled payout date. Nothing is left to interpretation.

Mini case study
Ousmane generated three sales in one month via his link: a showcase site at 250,000 FCFA, an e-commerce site at 1,500,000 FCFA and a showcase site at 500,000 FCFA. The dashboard computes everything.
Showcase 1: 250,000 x 15 % = 37,500 FCFA. E-commerce: 1,500,000 x 12 % = 180,000 FCFA. Showcase 2: 500,000 x 15 % = 75,000 FCFA. Month total: 292,500 FCFA, paid via Wave once client collection is confirmed. The two showcase sites then add 5 % recurring on their maintenance, visible in real time the following month.
FAQ
How are my sales attributed? Via a unique referral link that ties the prospect to your account from the first click. The dashboard confirms attribution within 24 hours.
When exactly am I paid? Monthly, after Kolonell collects from the client, once your balance exceeds 25,000 FCFA. Payment is made by Wave, Orange Money or bank transfer.
Can I check my commissions myself? Yes. The dashboard shows in real time each lead, the pole sold, the percentage applied and the payout date. No manual claim is needed.
What if the client pays in installments? Your commission follows the collection: it is paid progressively as payments are received, proportionally.
Is the recurring 5 % really automatic? Yes. As long as the client keeps maintenance, 5 % lands every month with no action from you, stacking with your new sales.
