What you get

Why commission beats a retainer

You pay for results, not promises

An influencer fee is spent whether anyone buys or not. A commission is only owed after the money has already arrived in your account, which makes the maths hard to lose.

Every partner gets their own link

Sales are credited to whoever sent the buyer, automatically. Nobody has to remember a discount code, and nobody argues at the end of the month about who introduced whom.

Commission works itself out

Set the rate once — say 25% on a UGX 240,000 course, about UGX 60,000 a sale — and every referral is calculated, held until it is due, and listed ready for payout.

Reach lists you could never build

Ten partners with two hundred engaged followers each puts you in front of two thousand people who trust somebody they already know, rather than an advert they scrolled past.

How it works

Starting a partner programme

  1. Decide the terms

    The commission rate, which products it applies to, how long after a click a sale still counts, and how soon after purchase you pay out.

  2. Invite the right people

    Past students, satisfied clients, complementary businesses. Someone who has used the product sells it far better than someone who has only read the page.

  3. They share their link

    Each partner gets a link and a simple dashboard showing clicks, sales and what they have earned, so you are not answering “how am I doing?” every week.

  4. Approve and pay

    Once the refund window closes, approve the earnings and record the payout by mobile money or bank transfer. The partner sees it settled on their side.

In practice

Partner programmes that work

  • A course creator

    Past students earn 30% for every classmate they bring in.

  • A skincare brand

    Salon owners earn on every client who orders through their link.

  • A training institute

    District agents are paid per enrolment instead of a monthly retainer.

Questions

Affiliates, answered

The things people ask us before they move their business across.

  • For digital products, 20% to 40% is normal because there is no cost per unit. For physical goods it is usually 5% to 15%, since the margin has to cover stock and delivery. Start lower; raising a rate is easier than cutting one.

  • Clicking a partner's link tags that visitor for a set window — 30 days by default. If they buy inside that window the commission is recorded automatically, even if they return through your website later.

  • You choose. Most people hold earnings until the refund period has passed, then pay monthly in one batch by mobile money. Each payout is recorded against the partner so both sides have the same history.

  • No. A partner sees their own clicks, their own referred sales and their own earnings. Your contact list, your other partners and your total revenue stay private.

  • Yes, though keep the rate realistic against your margin and delivery costs. It works best where a partner's audience genuinely overlaps with your buyers rather than being a general audience.
