# 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.
