RUS affiliate programme

Share products. Earn on every sale.

Recommend RUS Marketplace products to the people who trust you. When they buy through your link, you earn the seller’s commission, from 1% up to 50% of the price.

How it works

Four steps from sharing to getting paid

  1. 1ApplyTell us where you’ll share links, such as your WhatsApp status, groups, Instagram or X. It’s free.
  2. 2Get your codeOnce our team approves you, you get a personal referral code and an affiliate dashboard.
  3. 3Share productsEvery product that offers commission shows what you’ll earn and a ready-made link. You can also link to stores, categories or the whole Marketplace.
  4. 4Earn on salesWhen someone buys through your link, the commission is yours, paid into your RUS wallet.

What you earn

Sellers set the commission

Each seller chooses what they offer on each product, from 1% to 50%. Your commission is that percentage of the item’s price after any discount. Delivery fees don’t count, and buyers never pay extra.

Example saleCommissionYou earn
Sneakers · ₦15,00010% of ₦15,000₦1,500
Phone case · ₦4,00020% of ₦4,000₦800
Wristwatch with a ₦2,000 coupon · ₦25,0005% of ₦23,000₦1,150
  • Every eligible item counts. If the buyer adds more to their cart, you earn on each item that offers commission.
  • Your link lasts 7 days. The most recent affiliate link a buyer clicked gets the sale.

Payments

When and how you’re paid

Commission follows the order. You can track each one in your dashboard as it moves through these stages.

  1. Order placed

    Awaiting delivery

    Your commission is recorded the moment a buyer pays, and held with the seller’s payment in escrow.

  2. Buyer confirms delivery

    Earned

    The commission is now yours. It’s held for 7 days, which gives time to sort out any dispute or fraud.

  3. 7 days later

    Paid

    It’s paid into your RUS wallet automatically. Spend it on the Marketplace or withdraw it to your bank in the RUS app.

When commission isn’t paid: if an order is cancelled or refunded before the buyer confirms delivery, there’s nothing to pay on it. Commission found to come from fraud or self-referral can be voided during the 7-day hold, and the amount goes back to the seller.

For sellers

Let affiliates sell for you

Add a commission to any product from your seller dashboard. Affiliates will share it, and you only pay when a sale they brought in is delivered and confirmed. The commission comes out of your share of that sale; the RUS platform fee doesn’t change.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Applying and being an affiliate is free, and the commission comes out of the seller’s share, never from you.

Do buyers pay more when they use my link?

No. Buyers pay exactly the same price. The seller shares part of what they receive with you.

How long does my link count for?

7 days from the last affiliate link the buyer clicked. If they click someone else’s link after yours, the newer link gets the sale.

What if the buyer adds other things to their cart?

You earn on every item in their order that offers commission, at each seller’s own rate, not just the product you shared.

What doesn’t earn commission?

Cancelled or refunded orders, your own purchases, products you sell yourself, and delivery fees. Commission on orders that turn out to be fraudulent can be voided.

Where can I see my earnings?

In your affiliate dashboard: clicks, sales, and every commission with its status and the date it will be paid.

How do I get the money out?

Commission is paid into your RUS wallet. From there you can withdraw to your bank account in the RUS app, like any other wallet balance.
