I’ve seen a lot of affiliates for Jumia Nigeria complaining about how much they get from every sale they generate. An example is someone who said he sold a product worth ₦76,244,00 and received a commission of ₦66.88 from Jumia. If you ask me, that’s really little income from the product the person promoted. Though, I can’t speak for Jumia about the payments but I can speak about the percentage commissions you get from the products you sell.
Jumia Nigeria says as an affiliate, you can earn up to 11% on each sale made by your users within 30 days. This doesn’t mean you will earn 11% commissions from one product. It means you can earn up to that or more of you sell multiple products via your generated affiliate link within 30 days. This can be possible if you take part in their upcoming promotions to generate even more revenue. I used this when the Jumia mobile apps for Android, iOS etc in June 2014. I still get good commissions when anyone downloads the app and use it to make any purchase within 30 days.
Here is an image (click to enlarge) of the percentage commissions you get for referring a new customer or generating a sale on Jumia.
Products You Should Promote on Jumia Nigeria
If I were you, I would promote the products with higher percentage commissions. You can see them on the image above. Examples of such products are Fashion, Health & Beauty, Baby, Toys & Kids, Watches & Sunglasses and Weddings with 8% commissions. I have Wedding Store Nigeria where I promote wedding accessories for better commissions. You too can put more attention into these products categories. You get an additional 2% to your commission across all product categories for sales over 50 orders, monthly. An extra 1% commission across all product categories for every new customer you convince to shop on Jumia.
Please note, Jumia doesn’t pay recurring commissions. There is a 30 days cookies policy which affects sales and commissions. If I buy via your affiliate link today, you only get commissions if I buy again after 30 days. Also, if you refer a new customer to Jumia, you only get paid once for that customer. If the customer buys without using your affiliate link, you get no commissions. Jumia confirm your commissions on the 25th of the following month to enable them finalize orders status for the previous month. Bank transfers will follow shortly after the orders have been confirmed.
Now, it’s left to you to decide if you really want to promote products on Jumia Nigeria as an affiliate or not. If you decide to be an affiliate, then you need to know what all this entails and then do the right things.
