Grow African SaaS without hiring a marketing team

Connect startups with commission-based marketers. Founders list deals, marketers promote them with referral links, and conversions are tracked transparently — manual confirmation or webhook.

How it works

Spotlight Distribution is a two-sided marketplace on Gamms Spotlight. Approved startups publish software deals (discounts, lifetime offers, free trials). Marketers apply to promote startups they believe in. When a sale happens, the founder confirms the conversion (or their product sends a webhook), commission is calculated, and the marketer is paid to their Gamms affiliate wallet.

Commissions & payouts

Commission is agreed per partnership (default 20%). When a founder confirms a conversion, their wallet is debited, the marketer receives the net commission in their affiliate wallet, and a small platform fee is collected. If the founder's balance is insufficient, payout is blocked until topped up. Prices on deals are stored in the founder's currency and displayed in yours via Gamms currency conversion.
