Help businesses launch online. Earn for as long as they stay.
Share your personal referral link. Every shop that signs up through it gets 3 free months — and you earn ongoing monthly commission for every month they keep paying.
Affiliates are onboarded individually — there's no public sign-up form yet.
How the referral program works
Three steps, from your link to a monthly payout.
Share your link
Every affiliate gets a personal link, like shopsimply.co.za/i/yourcode. Post it, message it, put it in a bio — however you reach your audience.
Their shop launches free
Anyone who signs up through your link gets their first 3 months free — a real incentive to actually try building a shop.
You earn every paying month
Once their free months end and they're a paying shop, you earn commission for every month they stay subscribed — up to 12 months per shop.
Track everything on your own stats page
Every affiliate gets a private link showing shops referred, total earned, and pending payout — updated automatically, no spreadsheets to chase.
What it could look like
A simple, illustrative example — not a guaranteed outcome.
If you refer
5 shops
that each stay subscribed for a full 12 months at the standard R40/month commission
You'd earn approximately
R2 400
Commission rates are typically R40/month per referred shop, but specific terms can be discussed and agreed individually per affiliate — this example illustrates the mechanic, not a contractual rate.
Run by a real South African team
Shop Simply's affiliate program is run directly by Tech Mage (Pty) Ltd — affiliates are added and paid out by hand, so every earning is checked by a person, not an automated payout system.
