Share what’s on Tambala Market. Earn when someone buys through your link.
The Tambala Market Affiliate Program gives you a simple way to earn by helping people find and buy products, event tickets and places to stay on Tambala Market.
It works like this:
Apply to join. Get approved. Choose something on Tambala Market. Share your link. Earn up to 2% commission when someone makes a purchase through it.
You do not need to own a business, keep stock or create your own products. Tambala Market brings the products, events and stays together. As an affiliate, you help connect them with customers.
How it works
Apply to join the Tambala Affiliate Programme. Click here to apply
Once your application is approved, you can browse the products, events, places to stay, stores and other opportunities available to affiliates.
Choose something people around you may want, need or already ask you about.
Create your Tambala affiliate link and share it on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, in groups, with friends, at school, at work or wherever you reach people.
When someone makes an eligible purchase through your link, you can earn up to 2% commission of the sale.
Apply. Choose. Share. Sell. Earn.
Earn from more than products
Tambala Market is more than shopping. Affiliates can earn across:
Products — share something someone wants to buy.
Events — share an event and earn when someone buys a ticket.
Stays — share a place to stay and earn when someone makes a booking.
Focus on what makes sense for you and the people you know. You might know people looking for clothes, phones or accessories. You might be the person who always knows what is happening in town. You might know people travelling who need somewhere to stay.
You do not have to sell everything. Choose the opportunities you believe you can sell.
More ways to earn
Every eligible sale can earn you up to 2% commission of the sale.
Tambala Market may also offer additional ways to earn, including bonuses for making your first sale, rewards for reaching sales milestones and special campaigns with additional rewards on selected products, events or stays.
Some campaigns may also offer prizes instead of cash.
Your affiliate dashboard shows the opportunities available to you, what you have earned and what you can work towards next.
You earn from real sales
A click is not a sale.
Starting checkout is not a sale.
An unpaid order is not a sale.
Your commission is recorded after Tambala confirms that the customer has paid for an eligible transaction.
It may remain pending for a short period while the order, ticket or booking is completed. If the purchase is cancelled, refunded or otherwise becomes ineligible, the related commission may be reversed.
This helps ensure affiliates are rewarded for real, completed sales.
Everything is tracked for you
You do not need to send screenshots of customers who bought through your link or calculate your own commission.
Your Tambala affiliate link helps track purchases back to you.
From your affiliate dashboard, you can see your sales, commissions, bonuses, campaigns, available earnings and payouts.
You can also see what to work towards next — whether that is making your first sale, reaching your next sales milestone or taking part in a featured campaign.
Getting paid
Once your available earnings reach the minimum payout amount shown in your account, you can request a withdrawal.
You can add a supported bank account, Airtel Money or TNM Mpamba as your payout account.
Tambala reviews the request, processes your payment and records it in your account.
You can follow the status of your earnings and payouts directly from your affiliate account.
Who is this for?
The Tambala Market Affiliate Program is for people who can connect what is available on Tambala Market with people who may want to buy it.
You could be a university student, recent graduate, creator, salesperson, community organiser, young professional or simply someone with a strong network of friends and contacts.
You do not need thousands of followers.
Your audience could be:
Friends on WhatsApp
People at your university
Colleagues at work
People in your neighbourhood
Members of a club or community
Your social media followers
People who already ask you where they can find products, events or places to stay
What matters is being able to put the right thing in front of the right person and turn that connection into a sale.
Why Tambala is doing this
We believe more young people should have a way to participate in the digital economy — not only as consumers, but as people who can earn from it.
Young people already spend much of their lives online. They know how to use their phones, move between social platforms, discover things, share links and help one another find what they need.
At the same time, many businesses have great products and services but do not always have the time, skills or reach to find customers online.
We think there is an opportunity to connect the two.
A shop owner may know their business better than anyone. A young person may understand how to reach the next generation of customers better than anyone.
Tambala Market can bring them together.
The business gets another way to reach customers.
The customer gets an easier way to discover what is available.
And the affiliate earns for helping make the sale happen.
That is what we want the Tambala Market Affiliate Program to make possible: giving more people a practical way to participate in commerce and earn from the digital economy around them.
