Tokopedia Launches ‘Dipromosikan Affiliate’ Feature, Making It Easier for Users to Earn Additional Income

Jakarta, 5 September 2023 - In the era of social commerce, people tend to look for inspiration while shopping or vice versa. This era is an opportunity for entrepreneurs in Indonesia, particularly MSMEs, to provide a more interactive and relevant shopping experience for consumers. This is the background for Tokopedia when it launched the Tokopedia Affiliate initiative in early 2022.

“Tokopedia Affiliate enables anyone to become an influencer and earn additional income by promoting products or shops on Tokopedia through affiliate links that can be shared on social media. On the other hand, Tokopedia Affiliate brings added value to local seller’s marketing strategies to make it more engaging and interactive for the general public," said Nirmala Hapsari, Associate Vice President of Content Marketing Platform Tokopedia.

Tokopedia Affiliate users (called Affiliates) can earn commissions of up to 10% for every product successfully sold from their special affiliate link. In addition, Affiliates are also given an additional IDR 10 commission for every validated page visit to products or stores that they promote.

“Anyone with an active social media presence, with no minimum number of followers, can register as an Affiliate. "The Tokopedia Affiliate initiative aligns with GoTo's Three Zeroes ESG commitments, Zero Barriers, which aims to help people create opportunities without barriers through the GoTo ecosystem, including Tokopedia," explained Nirmala.

The launch of Tokopedia Affiliate was welcomed positively by the public. This is proven by the number of Affiliates, which has increased almost 16 times by June 2023, compared to the end of the first month when Tokopedia Affiliate was launched.

Sellers can maximize their sales by offering additional commissions through Tokopedia Affiliate

In addition to providing additional income opportunities, Tokopedia, through the Tokpedia Affiliate initiative, aims to support the growth and development of local sellers in Indonesia, particularly MSMEs.

"To maximize the impact of Tokopedia Affiliate for the community, including MSMEs, we launched the Dipromosikan Affiliate feature. This feature enables sellers who meet the criteria to offer Affiliates up to 20% additional commission. This allows affiliates to earn more additional income, while helping to maximize the business’ sales," said Nirmala.

This feature contributes positively to the entrepreneur’s business. In the second quarter of 2023, sellers who use the Dipromosikan Affiliate feature on Tokopedia experienced an average increase of almost four times in product page visits compared to sellers who have not used this feature.

Tokopedia's efforts to help people hone their skills as influencers

As an inclusive technology company from Indonesia, Tokopedia offers various initiatives to help individuals develop their skills and become commissioned influencers. One such program is the Akademi Creator Tokopedia, which caters to Affiliates as a community that provides free access to educational materials. These materials can help content creators hone their skills, including creating video scripts, crafting content that appeals to a broad audience, and more.

In addition, Tokopedia regularly holds the annual GEMBIRA: Brands and Creators Day festival as a forum for Affiliates to network with fellow content creators and brands, gain insight through educational talk shows, and participate in various activities and exclusive products.

“Through GEMBIRA, Tokopedia aims to support Affiliates to continue developing their potential as content creators. Hopefully, this event can also support collaboration between Affiliates and local business owners in Indonesia," said Nirmala.
