Set the reward once. From then on, every customer who has given you a date gets a coupon in the week before it — and you get a record of what went out and what came back.
Choose a fixed cart discount or a percentage, set the amount, pick a code prefix, and decide how long the coupon should live. There is no workflow builder to learn and no trigger graph to wire up.
One toggle makes the birthday field mandatory at checkout and registration if you would rather not leave it optional.
Upload your logo, write the subject, greeting and message, then open a live preview of the finished email — rendered exactly as it will arrive, from the address it will arrive from.
Merge tags fill in the rest:
{customer_name}
and
{coupon_type_text}, so one message reads correctly whether you are giving 10% or $10.
Wrapped in WooCommerce’s standard email layout and sent in HTML, plain text or multipart — following the email type, Cc, Bcc and Reply-to you set under WooCommerce → Settings → Emails.
Day and month only — never the birth year, so you are not holding data you have no use for. Put the field wherever your customers already are.
[birthday_bash_checkout_input]
to the Checkout page.
[birthday_bash_form]
into any page or widget.
The screenshot on the right is a live cart: the birthday field sits under the items, and NeoGrow’s points redemption sits in the totals. The two plugins stay out of each other’s way.
Border radius, an optional shadow, background, text and border colors, the form title and the line of copy above the fields — all editable, all in one tab.
Leave the title empty and it disappears entirely, which is usually what you want when the form is already sitting inside a checkout step that has its own heading.
Every issued coupon is logged with its code, the recipient, the issue date and the expiry. When one is used, the log records the redeemed date and links straight to the order it paid for.
That is the difference between believing birthday emails work and being able to point at the orders. Long lists are paginated rather than loaded in one go.
The birthday fields appear natively in the Account details screen, next to first name and email address. Customers who missed the field at checkout can add it later without being asked to, and anyone can change it.
Uninstalling removes all of it — every option, the coupons table, the generated coupons and the scheduled tasks, across every site on a multisite network.
Four steps, none of which you have to run.
Day and month, from the account page, the registration form, the checkout, or a shortcode you placed yourself.
Once a day, in your site’s timezone, through Action Scheduler — in batches of 100 customers, so a large list cannot time the job out.
Unique code, locked to that customer’s email address, usable once, with an expiry date. One per customer per year — duplicates are checked for before anything is created.
In the week before the birthday, not on the morning of it — so there is time to browse, decide, and order something that arrives before the day.
There is no paid tier and nothing is held back. This is the whole feature list, and all of it is in the version on WordPress.org.

Birthday Bash is deliberately standalone — it needs nothing but WooCommerce, and it will never ask you to install something else to finish the job.
But if you are already running NeoGrow for loyalty points and photo reviews, the two sit side by side without overlapping: NeoGrow handles every purchase in between, Birthday Bash handles the one date a year that is only about them.

Birthday Bash
One coupon, one date, sent without you.

No. WooCommerce is the only requirement. Birthday Bash is a self-contained plugin — there is no parent plugin, no workflow engine and no external service. It uses Action Scheduler, which ships with WooCommerce itself.
Yes. The classic checkout renders the field inline with nothing
to set up. For the Blocks checkout, add a Shortcode block holding
[birthday_bash_checkout_input]
to your Checkout page — the plugin moves the fields into
the contact details section and submits the day and month with
the order through the Store API.
Nothing is created. The plugin records that a birthday coupon was issued for that customer in that calendar year and checks it before generating another, so a re-run of the daily job cannot flood your coupon list with duplicates.
The daily check runs in bounded batches of 100 customers through Action Scheduler rather than in one long request, so large customer lists do not risk a timeout or exhausted memory. On the front end, the plugin’s stylesheet loads only on pages that actually show the birthday form.
No. Only the day and the month are collected and stored, as standard user meta on your own site. Nothing is sent anywhere else, and uninstalling the plugin removes it.
Free, and GPL-2.0-or-later. There is no paid tier for Birthday Bash and no feature in this page that is locked behind one. If it is useful to your store, there is a Ko-fi link in the plugin — entirely optional.
Free, and it stays free. Install it from your dashboard in under a minute, set the discount, and leave it alone.
