- excerpt: We are looking to share our success with affiliates that are makers & content creators through our buythis.co.za Affiliate Program BETA. We want to help grow the South Africa CNC market for everyone.

South Africa's eCommerce sector is **rapidly growing more than** it has ever before. In 2020, South Africa eCommerce grew by 66% compared to the year before. This increase was primarily influenced by the restrictions placed on traditional retail stores that led to the reduction of in-store shopping by 30%. And it will continue to grow in 2022 and 2023!

One way to benefit from the growth of eCommerce, without starting your own eCommerce store, is to engage in [eCommerce Affiliate Marketing](https://buythis.co.za/affiliate#ai).

What is eCommerce Affiliate Marketing? eCommerce affiliate marketing simply **adds the online element to affiliate marketing**. When an online merchant promotes another company's products, services, or website on their own website, they earn a commission. It's really that simple!

At [AM.CO.ZA](https://am.co.za/) we are proud to announce the [buythis.co.za Affiliate Program](https://buythis.co.za/affiliate#ai) with you today!
