Moonlit gives your business a ready-to-go network of verified, trained sales agents across South Africa. You set the commission. They sell. You pay only when you get a result.
You don't need a sales team. You don't need an ad budget. You need a result — and we build the pipeline to get you there.
Apply as a Seller on Moonlit. We onboard your company, agree on your commission structure, and go live — typically within a few days.
Our verified sales agents (Stars) are matched to your listing. They promote your product via WhatsApp, in-person referrals, and their communities.
Every sale is tracked through the Moonlit platform. You pay the agreed commission when a sale is confirmed. Not before. Not if it doesn't happen.
If your business sells something — a product, a service, a subscription — and you want more customers without the overhead of a permanent sales team, Moonlit is built for you.

Not sure if your business qualifies? If you have a product or service with a margin that allows for a commission payout, you qualify. Email us at info@moonlit.co.za and we'll confirm within one business day.
When you list on Moonlit, you decide exactly what each Star earns per sale. Moonlit does not take a cut of your commission payments to Stars. You are always in control of your cost-per-acquisition.
Most Moonlit Sellers set commissions between 8% and 20% for physical/digital products, or R100–R500 fixed for service leads. We'll advise you on what rate attracts active Stars in your category.
Most businesses go live within 2–5 business days of completing their Moonlit Seller application. Here's what that looks like:
Complete the Seller application form with your business details, product description, and commission rate.
Our team reviews your listing, confirms compliance, and sets up your product profile on the platform.
Your listing is activated. Stars browse available Sellers and can begin making referrals immediately.
Nothing. You pay nothing.
This is the single biggest difference between Moonlit and hiring a sales rep. A sales rep costs you a salary whether they sell or not. A Google Ads campaign costs you per click whether anyone buys or not. With Moonlit, your cost is always zero until a sale is made.
A Star who doesn't sell doesn't earn — and you don't pay. There is no termination cost, no HR process, no awkward conversation. The model is self-selecting: Stars who perform stay active. Stars who don't, move on to other opportunities naturally.
| Factor | Moonlit Stars | In-House Sales Rep | Google Ads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | R30 | R0–R5,000+ setup | R500–R5,000 minimum budget |
| Monthly overhead | R30 (pay per sale only) | R8,000–R25,000+ salary | Ongoing ad spend required |
| Pay only for results | Yes — always | No — salary regardless | No — pay per click, not per sale |
| Time to first sale | Days | Weeks to months | Days (but variable ROI) |
| Risk if it doesn't work | Zero — no cost incurred | Full salary + benefits paid | Full ad budget spent |
| Scales with your growth | Yes — unlimited Stars | Linear — hire more people | Yes, but cost scales too |
Your business might rely on in-person foot traffic, physical showrooms, or service callouts. With Moonlit, offline sales are trackable.
Every Star is issued a unique, verifiable QR code (e.g., ID: ZA-4-00-91). They can download this as a PDF, print it, or display it on their phones when speaking to customers in the real world.
This bridging of offline trust with online tracking is why businesses with physical locations prefer Moonlit's omnichannel approach over standard digital-only affiliate networks.
Moonlit's Stars are real South Africans — not bots, not anonymous link-sharers. They are verified individuals who have been onboarded, trained on the platform, and matched to Sellers whose products fit their networks.
Stars include:
Every Star is verified with a valid South African ID or passport before being activated. Moonlit audits Star behaviour — if a Star misrepresents your product, they are removed from the platform. Your brand is protected.

That's it. Most applications take less than 20 minutes to complete.
