A referral network for South African publishers and online shops.
Buy the Best connects publishers — news sites, magazines and blogs — with South African online merchants. When a publisher's article sends a reader to a member merchant, the publisher earns a fee for the click, and a commission if the reader buys.
How it works
-
A publisher writes about a product
Links to member merchants in the article go through Buy the Best.
-
A reader clicks through
They land on the merchant's own site, and the publisher earns a fee for the click.
-
The reader buys
If the sale goes through and is not returned, the publisher earns a commission on it.
For merchants
You pay only for results: a fee for each reader we send to your site, and a commission on the sales that follow.

For publishers
If you publish product coverage for South African readers, you can earn from the readers you send to member merchants — per click, and per sale.
