# Connect code and connection requests

Clients who sign up for Booko themselves can connect to your firm with a connect code (for example BK-7F3K-9QPW). You approve every connection first.

## Find and share the connect code

1. Go to **Settings** > **Connect clients**. (Only visible to the firm owner.)
2. Under **Connect code** you see **Your connect code**. Click **Copy code** and send it to your client.
3. The client enters the code while setting up their administration.

## Who pays for the subscription?

Under **Who pays for the subscription?**, choose:
- **Client pays** – the client pays for the subscription themselves.
- **Firm pays** – the client pays nothing; you'll be invoiced later at the firm rate. Choose the plan under **Subscription you pay for**.

Click **Save**. This applies to every client linked to your firm.

## Approve connection requests

1. Go to **Clients**. **Connection requests** lists clients who entered your code.
2. Click **Accept** or **Decline**.
3. After accepting you can see the client's administration. Until then you only see name, email address and company name.

## Good to know

- **Create new code** replaces your code. The old code stops working.
- If you decline a request, the client isn't connected and pays for the subscription themselves.

## Still stuck?

- Client sees **We don't recognise this code.**? Check that you shared your current code.
- Questions about the firm invoice or firm rate? Ask for a colleague in the chat.
