The company said the programme is open to anyone, from large businesses through to individuals, who can participate by driving traffic and sales through personal social media profiles on sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Affiliates will receive commission for any sales regardless of whether it has come from a desktop or mobile device.
Ronaldo Mouchawar, CEO and co-founder of Souq.com said: “We have launched the Affiliates Programme to continue our approach of taking partners along in our growth and building long term, mutually rewarding relationships. The programme offers another great partnership opportunity where anyone can monetise their own traffic and reach.”

We have over 600,000 product listings on Souq.com and over 30m visits per month. We register a sale on average every 1.5 seconds. Souq.com’s brand equity, its wide range of products, its creative advertising material and hassle-free shopping model will ensure a great experience for users and higher earnings for affiliates.”.
Affiliates can earn up to 10% commission on the total sale value every time a user clicks their banner and links, and completes a transaction. Affiliates get paid for all transactions that originate through their links, irrespective of the product the user buys, and not just the specific products that are advertised.
