The verdict in three sentences
On showcase sites, the Kolonell referral partner earns 15% of the sale amount plus 5% recurring on each monthly contract (maintenance, SEO, hosting). The math is transparent: 15% of 250,000 FCFA is 37,500 FCFA, 15% of 1,200,000 FCFA is 180,000 FCFA. Payment goes out via Wave or Orange Money within 7 days of the client settling, and sales stack with no cap.
The 15% math by tier
The three showcase-site tiers yield three clear commission amounts.
| Showcase tier | Client price 2026 | 15% commission | 5% recurring (if 100k maintenance) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 250,000 FCFA | 37,500 FCFA | 5,000 FCFA/month |
| Growth | 500,000 FCFA | 75,000 FCFA | 5,000 FCFA/month |
| Premium | 1,200,000 FCFA | 180,000 FCFA | 5,000 FCFA/month |
The recurring percentage applies to the monthly amount of the service contract, not the site price. On SEO at 200,000 FCFA/month, the 5% is worth 10,000 FCFA/month.
Income projection by volume
Here is what the activity pays based on the number of showcase sales (average price 500,000 FCFA, commission 75,000 FCFA).
| Sales/month | One-time income | Over 12 months | + recurring (5k/sale) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 150,000 FCFA | 1,800,000 FCFA | up to 120,000 FCFA/month yr 1 |
| 4 | 300,000 FCFA | 3,600,000 FCFA | up to 240,000 FCFA/month yr 1 |
| 6 | 450,000 FCFA | 5,400,000 FCFA | up to 360,000 FCFA/month yr 1 |
| 10 | 750,000 FCFA | 9,000,000 FCFA | up to 600,000 FCFA/month yr 1 |
These figures are a 2026 order of magnitude: the recurring assumes each client keeps an active monthly contract.

Conditions and payment timing
Commission is due only on sales actually collected by Kolonell. Payment lands within 7 days of the client's final settlement, via mobile money or transfer. Each lead is timestamped in the dashboard: if a client you introduced signs later, the commission stays credited to you.
Mini case study
Ibrahima, a ride-hail driver in Dakar, talks to dozens of merchants a week. In 2026 he closes 4 showcase sales in one month: 2 Growth (500,000 FCFA) and 2 Premium (1,200,000 FCFA). Commissions: 2 x 75,000 + 2 x 180,000 = 510,000 FCFA in one month. Three clients take maintenance at 100,000 FCFA/month: 15,000 FCFA/month recurring adds up, month after month.
FAQ
Does the 15% apply to the price with or without tax? Commission is computed on the sale amount collected by Kolonell as defined in the quote, usually the tier's listed price.
What if the client negotiates a discount? The commission follows the final signed price. On a Growth showcase reduced to 450,000 FCFA, you earn 15%, i.e. 67,500 FCFA.
How long does the recurring last? As long as the client pays their monthly contract. If they keep maintenance for 24 months, you earn 5% every month for 24 months.
Can I combine with other divisions? Yes. E-commerce (12%), marketplace (10%) and institutional (8%) add to your showcase sales in the same dashboard.
