The verdict in three sentences
Reselling websites requires no technical skill and no capital: you bring the client, Kolonell delivers, you take the commission. The 2026 scale runs from 15% on a showcase site to 8% on institutional, plus 5% recurring on monthly maintenance. With 4 showcase-site sales a month, you are looking at an order of magnitude of 300,000 FCFA in commissions, growing every month thanks to the recurring share.
The commission scale by division
Commission depends on the division sold. The higher the ticket, the lower the rate — but the absolute amount climbs sharply.
| Division | Typical ticket | Sale commission | Recurring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 500,000 FCFA | 15% → 75,000 FCFA | 5% maintenance |
| E-commerce | 2,000,000 FCFA | 12% → 240,000 FCFA | 5% |
| Marketplace | 5,000,000 FCFA | 10% → 500,000 FCFA | 5% |
| Institutional | 10,000,000 FCFA | 8% → 800,000 FCFA | 5% |
A partner can mix divisions: a few showcase sites for volume, an occasional e-commerce build for the big check.
The monthly potential, quantified
The model's real strength is recurring income: each site sold generates a small annuity as long as the client keeps its maintenance.
| Monthly scenario | Detail | Month's income |
|---|---|---|
| 4 showcase sites at 500,000 FCFA | 4 × 75,000 | 300,000 FCFA |
| + 1 e-commerce at 2,000,000 | 240,000 | 540,000 FCFA |
| Cumulative recurring (20 maintenance clients at 60,000/month) | 5% × 60,000 × 20 | 60,000 FCFA/month |
| Typical month total | sale + recurring | ≈ 600,000 FCFA |
The role and the pitch
The partner spots a need (a shopkeeper with no site, a restaurant with no booking page), shows a personalized demo Kolonell provides, and passes on the qualified contact. Kolonell handles the quote, production, payment and delivery. The pitch fits in one sentence: "I'll build you a pro showcase site that brings in customers, from 500,000 FCFA, with Wave payment available."

A showcase-site sales cycle often takes 1 to 3 weeks: first contact, demo, quote, signature. E-commerce and institutional tickets take longer (1 to 3 months) but pay far more.
Mini case study
Ibrahim, a salesman in Abidjan, becomes a Kolonell referral partner. In month one he signs 3 showcase sites at 500,000 FCFA: 3 × 75,000 = 225,000 FCFA. In month two he adds an e-commerce build at 2,000,000 FCFA (240,000 FCFA), and his first 3 clients took maintenance at 60,000 FCFA/month, i.e. 3 × 3,000 = 9,000 FCFA recurring. Over 6 months at 4 sales/month with a growing maintenance book, his recurring income alone tops 100,000 FCFA/month with no new sale.
FAQ
Do I need to code to be a partner? No, no technical skill is required: you bring the client and Kolonell handles everything from quote to delivery.
When do I get paid? Commission is paid when the client pays: as soon as Kolonell receives the project payment, your share (e.g. 75,000 FCFA on a showcase site) is settled.
What exactly is the 5% recurring? On each monthly maintenance subscription your client keeps, you earn 5% every month, creating cumulative passive income.
How much can I earn with 4 sales a month? 2026 order of magnitude: 4 showcase sites at 75,000 FCFA make 300,000 FCFA in commissions, excluding e-commerce and recurring.
Is there a cap? No — the more clients and larger divisions you bring, the more you earn; a single 5,000,000 FCFA marketplace pays 500,000 FCFA in commission.
