# Connect Customers

This feature helps you connect a customer to an affiliate so that **all future orders** made by the **connected customer** will result in a **commission** for the affiliate, **regardless** of the use of any affiliate link/coupon.

To connect a customer to an affiliate, go to **Affiliates** > **Connect customers**.  Next, you can choose to search for an existing customer or add a new customer.

Once connected, it will show the connection between the customer and the affiliate with the "Connect source" below:

An affiliate can be connected to **multiple customers**, but **each customer** can be assigned to only **one** affiliate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.uppromote.com/management/affiliates/connect-customers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
