How Link Pesa Works
A secure escrow and referral marketplace connecting vendors, affiliates, and customers — every transaction protected in a secure vault, every referral rewarded.
Three Roles, One Platform
Vendors
List your products, set commission rates for affiliates, and fulfill orders. You only pay commission when a verified sale happens through a referral link.
Affiliates
Browse products, create unique referral links, and share them across your network. Earn commission on every sale that comes through your link.
Customers
Shop with confidence through referral links. Your payment is held in escrow and released only after you confirm delivery — total buyer protection.
How It Works for Vendors
List Your Products
Create product listings with descriptions, images, pricing, and delivery options. Set a commission amount you're willing to pay affiliates per successful referral sale.
Get Promoted
Affiliates discover your products and create referral links. They share these links across their networks — driving traffic directly to your product pages.
Fulfill & Earn
When a customer buys, you dispatch the product. Payment is held securely in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt. Then you receive the sale amount minus the affiliate commission and platform fee.
How It Works for Affiliates
Pick Products to Promote
Browse the marketplace and select products that match your audience. Each product displays its commission — pick the ones that pay best.
Generate Referral Links
Create a unique tracking link for each product. Every click and purchase is attributed to you automatically. You can create multiple links and track performance individually.
Share & Earn
Share your links on WhatsApp, social media, blogs, or anywhere your audience is. When someone buys through your link, you earn the commission — credited to your wallet instantly once the buyer confirms delivery.
How It Works for Customers
Find a Product
Click a referral link shared by an affiliate, or search for a link code directly. You'll see the full product details, price, and delivery options.
Pay Securely
Pay via M-Pesa or other methods. Your money is held in escrow — the vendor cannot access it until you confirm the product has been delivered successfully.
Receive & Confirm
The vendor ships or delivers your product. Once you confirm receipt, the funds are released — the vendor gets paid, the affiliate earns their commission, and the transaction is complete.
The Payment Flow
How secure escrow protects buyers, rewards affiliates, and pays sellers automatically.
Buyer Pays
Customer pays the full price via M-Pesa. Funds are held securely in the Link Pesa escrow vault.
Seller Delivers
Vendor ships the product. The customer inspects the item and confirms successful delivery.
Funds Released
Escrow releases payment: seller gets paid, affiliate gets commission, and customer gets the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Link Pesa Escrow?
Link Pesa Escrow is a secure payment holding system. When a buyer pays, the funds are securely stored in our escrow account. The funds are only released to the seller and affiliate after the buyer confirms that the product has been delivered and inspected.
How do I earn commissions as an Affiliate?
As an affiliate, you browse listings and generate your custom referral links. Share these links on social media, blogs, or directly via messaging apps. When someone makes a purchase through your link, our system tracks it automatically, and you receive your commission once delivery is confirmed.
How are disputes handled if the product is not delivered?
If a buyer does not receive the product or receives something that doesn't match the description, they can open a dispute. Our support team will review tracking details, communications, and delivery proof to resolve the issue fairly and refund or release the funds accordingly.
