# Register as a partner

### Partner area in customer account

Regardless of how the partner was registered, the partner area can be found in the storefront in the customer's account area. You can create a partner in the admin area, or a customer can request activation as a partner in the account area.

### Registering a partner via the administration

In Shopware Administration, you will find a list of all partners under **Marketing -> Affiliate system -> Partner**. You can also add new partners manually using the **Add partner** button. The following steps are required for this:

1. Click on the **Add partner** button.
2. Select an existing shop customer or create a new one.
3. Set a partner code (this is the code that the partner can use later to recruit new customers) and assign the partner to a partner group. The Default group is always available by default.
4. Click on the **Save** button.
5. The partner must then be activated by clicking on the **Approve** button.

### Registering the partner via the storefront

Customers can register as partners in the account area of the storefront. Depending on how you have configured the extension, the customer must write an application, accept the partner program terms and conditions, and wait for approval.

{% hint style="info" %}
By [configuring the extension](/en/plugins/affiliate-system/installation.md#partner-registration), you can also specify the conditions under which customers can view the partner area and participate in the partner program.
{% endhint %}
