The Jumia affiliate program has three key focuses REGISTER, ADVERTISE, and EARN.

The Micro-influencers are people who consider themselves content developer and enjoys giving recommendations and reviews to their devoted fans. And the fans must be a minimum of five thousand people. The mega influencers are people with large and well-established social media followers, whose posts are compelling enough to entice their followers to buy the items they advertise right away. The affiliates are those who have a website or a social media page that allows you to do things like Cashback, Deals, Reviews, Email Marketing, Loyalty Programs, Coupons, Price Comparisons, and other similar things. This set of people register with the Jumia affiliate program and earn massively on every purchase made. Well not to worry, we will guide you on how to register to earn passively too.
Advertise
After registration, you will receive a link and you are expected to promote Jumia’s numerous campaigns and receive tracking links and discount vouchers for up to 7 days.
Earn
For every purchase made through your link, you will receive a commission. At the end of each month, you’ll be paid for your sales using the payment method you pick.
Jumia Affiliate Program is a “pay per sale” program that rewards affiliates for referring products offered by the company to customers and influencing them to make purchases. Furthermore, when a customer purchases a product within the space of 30 days after visiting the affiliate’s link, Jumia pays the affiliate a percentage of the sold product as commission.
Jumia Affiliate Program has proven to be the best in Nigeria. Affiliates of Jumia have confirmed that it pays best, compared to others. Affiliates of Jumia receive up to 11% commission from each sale made through their link.
How does Jumia Affiliate Program Work?
Just like every other affiliate program, the Jumia Affiliate program provides affiliate links to its affiliates with which they promote available products to their audience online. If any customer makes any purchase through the link (within 30 days of visiting the link), Jumia pays the affiliate a commission, about 9% for each sale.
Jumia tracks all the sales made through an affiliate link with the aid of a tracking code.
Well, the link that you get from Jumia has a tracking code in it. Once the link is clicked, it registers on Jumia’s server and at the same time, a cookie (with a 30-day lifespan) is stored on the customer’s device. When the customer buys any product within 30 days of clicking the link, the purchase will be credited to you.
Jumia has a minimum monthly payout amount of 5000 nairas it pays its affiliates. Also, if an affiliate’s earnings sum up to the minimum payout amount in a month, Jumia pays him. But, if it’s below the minimum payout amount, Jumia will roll it over to the next month and pays the affiliate when his cumulative earnings sum up to the minimum payout.
Affiliates of Jumia attract customers’ attention by sharing their affiliate links using their social media accounts i.e Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Google+ and blog sites. The affiliate links are connected to the Jumia site: www.jumia.com.ng.
How Do I Become An Affiliate?
To join the Jumia Affiliate Program, use the link affiliates.jumia.com, and follow the registration procedure. Jumia reviews all applications and admits successful ones into the program. If yours is accepted, they will contact you immediately with a confirmation e-mail.
Having done that, you can log in to your Affiliate site, choose products in your niche, and start promoting them using your blog sites or social media accounts.
How Jumia Affiliate Program Works
Jumia Affiliate Programs operate similarly to other affiliate programs. You send people online a link to offers and things on sale on Jumia, and if they buy, you get paid.
However, how does Jumia track the links to determine whether or not a lead purchased a product?
The URL you obtain from Jumia, for example, contains a tracking code. When a link is clicked, it is registered on Jumia’s server and a cookie (with a 7-day expiration date) is saved on the clicker’s device.
The sale will be credited to you even if the clicker does not buy right away, as long as they buy during the cookie’s lifespan (in this case, 30 days).
If you have earned the required payout amount (5,000 Naira or 10,000 Naira, not sure), your earnings will be instantly deposited into your account at the end of the month.
Your earnings will roll over to the next month if you earned less than the minimum payout. Your profits will continue to grow until the minimum payment is reached.
Payments are typically made between the 15th and the 25th of the month following.
