PrestaShop Birthday Gift Voucher {User Guide}

PrestaShop Birthday Gift Voucher module offers shop owners to provide a discount voucher code to customers via email on their birthday.

You can choose whether you want to send a voucher along with a birthday email or just a birthday wish email.

This module also helps you to create multiple birthday gift vouchers & add an email template with each gift voucher.

In order to filter customers & send a particular voucher, this module provides you to filter them on two criteria.

The first criteria is on the basis of total purchase & the second is on the basis of a number of orders. You can define a range on both these cases.

A customer will get a birthday email on the basis of the range he/she falls into.

The module also provides a data-rich dashboard. All the details like vouchers, customers, sales, used vouchers etc. are available here.

It also keeps the log of all the birthday emails that have been sent to the customers on their birthday.

Manage Birthday Gift Voucher

Note: This module sends only one birthday mail to the customer in a year.

General Setting

Plan Name: In this field, enter the name of the plan.

Plan Type: Here are the two types of plans available in the module.

• Only Birthday Email: Select this option to send only birthday mail to the customer without a voucher code.

• Birthday Email with Voucher Code: Select this option & send a discount voucher of certain amount in mail.

After selecting the amount in the field, enter the amount of the voucher which you’re offering to the customer.

If you select the plan type as a birthday email with a voucher code then you also need to set the validity of a voucher.

It simply means that the voucher will be applicable from the day customer receives the mail till the days set by you

For example, you set voucher validity for 10 days, and the customer receives the email on 12/2/2018. Then, in this case, the voucher will be valid till 22/2/2018.

Customer Group Type: Select a customer group type on which you want to send birthday emails to customers.

There are two options, one is on the basis of the total purchase & the other on the basis of the frequency of orders.

Based on total purchase

If you select customer group type as “Based on total purchase“, then you need to set the price range to filter the customer list.

Any customer whose purchase lies in this range will receive a birthday mail.

Based on order frequency

If you select customer group type as “Based on frequency“, then you need to set the minimum & the maximum number of orders to filter the customer list.

Any customer whose number of orders lies in this range will receive a birthday mail.

Days to send the mail before birthday: How many days before the birthday do you want to send the birthday email to the customer?

For example, a particular customer’s birthday is on 15/2/2018 and you set the number of days as 3.

Now, in this case, a customer will receive a birthday email on 12/2/2018.

Status: Choose to activate or deactivate this plan.

Choose Email Template

After entering the details of a plan, select an email template and then click on save to add this template with the plan.

Voucher details will be sent along with the mail template as shown below,

In this module, there is a total of 4 cases in which the plans are updated.

1. On editing a plan
2. On receiving the order
3. When a customer registers
4. On deleting a customer

On editing a plan

Suppose you add 3 plans on the basis of total purchases by the customers.

• The price range of Demo Plan is 1-100 and currently there are no customers in this plan.
• Another one is Demo Plan 1 with the price range of 500-1000 and currently there is only 1 customer in this plan.
• The last one i.e., Plan with price range of 0-0 and currently there are 3 customers in this plan.

Now, if you change the price range of the Plan from 0-0 to 100-200 then the plan will update.

In this case, the customers in the Plan will change from 3 to 1. It means that one of the customer’s total purchases from the store is between 100-200.

Refer to the screenshot below.

On receiving the order

The price range of Demo Plan 1 is set to 500-1000.

Now, if the customer order products that lie in the price range of 500-1000, then after payment acceptance of that order the plan will update.

When a customer registers

Firstly, you are creating a new plan i.e., Plan 4 with a range of 0-0.

Now, if a customer registers on the website then he/she will come under this plan automatically and the plan will update too.

You may observe that the number of customers in Plan 4 are 4 now after a customer registers on the website.

On deleting a customer

The plan will also update if a customer who lies in any plan is deleted.

The price range of

• Demo Plan is 1000-1500
• Demo Plan 1 is 500-1000
• Plan is 200-300 and
• Plan 4 is 0-0.

Now if you delete a customer who has a total sales value of 998.66, then Demo Plan 1 will also update. Refer to the screenshot below.
