The “Celebrate a birthday” earning rule allows you to reward customers with loyalty points on their birthday. This is a simple but powerful way to build stronger relationships and show appreciation to your customers in a personal way.
How it works
Customers provide their birth date through the Loyalty Widget.
On the day of their birthday (based on your store’s timezone), the system automatically applies the reward and adds the configured points to their balance. The reward then appears in the customer’s loyalty history.
Things to keep in mind:
To be eligible, customers must provide their birth date before 12:00 PM (store’s local time zone) on their birthday, since points are processed and issued twice daily.
The system prevents multiple rewards in the same year - even if a customer changes their birthday, points can only be awarded once per calendar year.
Setting up the rule
1. Specify points earned
Choose how many points customers will receive on their birthday.
2. Customize widget texts
Configure the award title and subtitle that will appear in the Loyalty Widget.
These two lines create the card for this earning method, letting customers know what they can earn.
3. Save your settings
Once saved, the reward will start applying automatically on customers' birthdays.
