Sure Imports Affiliate Commission Rates and How Earnings Are Calculated
See current Sure Imports affiliate commission rates and understand eligible revenue, fixed, recurring, per-kg and per-CBM commission calculations.
Tochukwu Nkwocha
Founder
Sure Imports affiliate commission rates use four different calculation models because buying support, research, subscriptions, verification and freight do not produce value in the same way. Understanding the basis is more important than memorising the headline number.
This guide documents the active configuration verified on 11 September 2026, shows worked examples and explains exclusions. Always treat the affiliate dashboard and terms as authoritative because rates and eligible services may change.

Percentage of eligible product cost
Buy From Chinese Websites currently pays 2% of eligible product cost. The percentage does not apply to freight, customs duties, service fees, penalties or unrelated non-product invoice lines.
If eligible products cost ₦800,000, the arithmetic starting point is ₦16,000. If the total invoice is higher because shipping and other charges were added, those excluded lines do not increase the calculation. The transaction must still be fully paid and remain eligible through review.
Fixed commission per eligible transaction
Supplier Reports, Phones and Laptops, and Supplier Verification use fixed commissions. This makes the calculation easy: the eligible completed transaction earns the configured amount in its currency, regardless of excluded add-ons.
The current rates are ₦5,000 or US$5 for Supplier Reports, ₦20,000 or US$15 for Phones and Laptops, and ₦10,000 or US$10 for Supplier Verification. The applicable currency comes from the configured transaction context; an affiliate cannot choose the more attractive conversion after the event.
Recurring subscription commission
Supplier Intelligence currently pays 10% of eligible subscription payments on a recurring basis. If a referred customer makes a qualifying ₦50,000 subscription payment, the starting calculation is ₦5,000. A later qualifying renewal can create another commission.
Recurring does not mean irrevocable or lifetime-guaranteed. Each payment must be successfully completed and satisfy the programme rules. Cancellations, failed renewals, refunds, reversals and account or attribution conditions can affect future or pending commission.
Per-unit freight commission
Ship with Us uses final eligible billed quantity. Depending on the plan, that may be US$0.50 per KG, ₦750 per KG, or ₦10,000 per CBM for an eligible Nigeria sea-volume route.
If a shipment is estimated at 100 kg but finally billed at 92 eligible kg on the ₦750 plan, the calculation begins at ₦69,000. If a sea shipment is finally billed at 1.8 eligible CBM on the ₦10,000 plan, it begins at ₦18,000. Duties, storage, verification, penalties, handling and unrelated charges remain excluded unless explicitly configured.
Why commission enters review
The current review period is 14 days. A review window lets the platform account for payment reversals, refunds, duplicated transactions, service cancellations, fraud indicators and eligibility problems. It also gives partners a clearer distinction between pending and available balances.
Do not treat pending commission as cash already owed or promise collaborators a share before it becomes available. Use the dashboard status, transaction reference and timestamps for reconciliation.
What does not earn commission
- Clicks, impressions, copied links or account registrations by themselves.
- Unpaid quotations, abandoned requests or rejected transactions.
- Invoice components explicitly excluded from the commission basis.
- Refunded, reversed, duplicated, fraudulent or self-dealing transactions that breach the terms.
- A service that is not enabled for affiliate commission in the current dashboard configuration.
How to forecast responsibly
Forecast from a funnel, not from a fantasy income claim. Estimate qualified visitors, the proportion who create the right service request, the proportion who complete payment, the typical eligible transaction basis, and the proportion that survives review. Keep each assumption visible.
For shipping, separate KG and CBM plans. For Supplier Intelligence, separate first payments from renewals. For fixed services, count eligible completed purchases rather than total leads. This produces a model you can improve with actual dashboard data.
The practical next step
Use the rate model to select content with the best audience fit, then measure eligible paid outcomes. If the dashboard rate differs from an older article or screenshot, use the current dashboard configuration and update your promotion.
