You can configure the automatic dispatch of emails with warm greetings and discounts on a specified date. Also, the extension is protected from abuse: the coupon code can be sent only once per year even if the user changed his birth date.

{{var subscriber.getCoupon()}}

To do this please go to Marketing → Communications → Email Templates and click the ‘Add New Template’ button.

Choose Newsletter Subscription Success template and click the ‘Load Template’ button.

To return customers, you can give discounts when a shopper hasn't been at your store for a particular number of days. Just activate the option, set the Send Coupon After Last Log-In (days) option to the required value and choose the email template. Other settings are described in the birthday coupons section.

If you enable this section, customers will receive a discount coupon for their next purchases once they place an order in your store. As usual, see the description for each setting in the birthday coupons section.
