Business, agents and partners

For small and medium businesses

Spaza shops, salons, taxi associations, funeral parlours, clinics, schools and church projects. Small operations that need a reliable line and a clean record of money in and out.

Business connectivity

Fibre or 5G fixed wireless for the premises, with a service level and a fault process that puts a named person on the problem rather than a queue.

Line

Business SIMs

Multiple SIMs on one account with per-line caps, so staff phones and delivery drivers do not run the month’s data down in a week.

SIMs

Take payments

Accept wallet payments and cards, with settlement into your business wallet and a statement you can hand to a bookkeeper.

Payments

Sell airtime and vouchers

Stock Z-Connect and other-network airtime, data and vouchers as an extra line of income across the counter you already run.

Resale

Devices for the team

Handsets, routers and tablets financed on the business account over 12 or 24 months, with device cover included.

The agent and reseller network

Distribution is the business. Agents sell SIMs, register members, load wallets and support the people they signed up — and get paid for all four.

Apply and get verified

Bring your ID, proof of address and banking details to a kiosk. KYC is completed there; approval usually takes two working days.

Get your territory

Each agent is assigned a mapped area. Members signed up in your territory stay linked to you, so servicing them keeps paying.

Take stock and a device

Starter packs, SIMs and vouchers on consignment, plus a handheld device for registration, RICA and wallet cash-in.

Earn on what you build

Commission on activations, on recharges from your base, on device and insurance sales, and on wallet cash-in volume. Paid into your own wallet.

Earning	When it pays	Notes
Activation commission	On a RICA-complete SIM that recharges within 30 days	Paid once per new member.
Recharge commission	Monthly, on airtime and data bought by your base	Continues for as long as the member stays active in your territory.
Device and cover commission	On approved device finance and insurance sales	Clawed back if the sale is cancelled in the cooling-off period.
Cash-in commission	Monthly, on wallet deposits processed	Encourages servicing members, not just signing them.

Church branches and community projects

The ZCC network is both our largest distribution channel and our anchor community. Branches are equipped, trained and paid for the work they do.

What a branch can do

Hand out starter packs, complete RICA, open wallets, take cash in, collect tithes and project contributions digitally, and refer members to a kiosk for devices and claims.

Each branch has a named contact at the nearest kiosk, and a monthly reconciliation of every transaction processed under its name.

What the branch earns

Commission on activations and cash-in processed at the branch, plus a share of Konekta day-pass revenue where a hotspot is hosted on the property. Funds settle into the branch’s own account, with a statement for the treasurer.

Working with us: integration is API-first, with a sandbox, published specifications and a named integration owner per partner. Write to info@z-connect.co.za with what you deliver and the systems you would integrate to.

Agents open first, in the areas where the base already is.
