YITH Coupon Email System automates coupon distribution over email: welcome discounts for new users, birthday rewards, win-back offers for lapsed customers, and scheduled campaigns – each a rule that generates (or assigns) a WooCommerce coupon and delivers it by email automatically. Retention mechanics that normally require a marketing platform live here: the birthday coupon sending itself, the welcome discount appearing in the new account’s inbox, the re-engagement offer reaching customers who haven’t purchased in 90 days. Against broader email platforms like FluentCRM (full marketing automation) and the YITH WooCommerce suite, this plugin owns one loop – coupons to people, automatically – doing it natively inside WooCommerce’s coupon system. Compared with retention tools like YITH Points and Rewards, it’s the discount-delivery channel rather than a loyalty currency.
The 1.6x line is mature maintenance. For stores wanting automated coupon retention without another platform, it’s the focused answer.

Comparison with Competitors
YITH Coupon Email System vs YITH WooCommerce Subscription
| Aspect | YITH Coupon Email System | YITH WooCommerce Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Layer | Coupon retention campaigns | Recurring revenue plans |
| Job | Bring customers back | Keep customers subscribed |
| Retention model | Win-back coupons | Ongoing billing |
| Together? | Yes | Yes |
Bottom line: YITH WooCommerce Subscription monetizes the customers you keep; Coupon Email System recovers the ones you lose. Subscription businesses use both – win-back coupons re-engage lapsed subscribers between billing cycles.
YITH Coupon Email System vs YITH Points and Rewards
| Aspect | YITH Coupon Email System | YITH Points and Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | Discounts (coupons) | Points (earned/redeemed) |
| Delivery | Email automation | Checkout/account balance |
| Engagement model | Campaign pushes | Continuous earning |
| Together? | Yes | Yes |
Bottom line: Points and Rewards builds a continuous loyalty currency; Coupon Email System pushes discount campaigns. Points for habitual engagement, coupons for campaigns – many stores run both.
Recommended Stack – coupon campaigns pair with segmentation: connect recipients to FluentCRM so coupon behavior feeds the marketing database.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which automated coupons can it send?
Welcome discounts for new registrations, birthday rewards on customer dates, win-back offers after configurable inactivity periods, and scheduled campaigns – each rule generates and emails coupons automatically.
Are coupon codes unique per customer?
Yes – the generator creates unique codes per recipient, preventing code-sharing abuse while keeping WooCommerce’s native tracking per code.
Can coupons expire?
Yes – validity windows per rule: welcome coupons valid 14 days, birthday rewards 30 days, win-back offers 7 days – urgency built into the mechanics.
How does the win-back rule identify lapsed customers?
By last-order date: customers without purchases for a configurable period (90 days, 6 months) match the rule and receive the re-engagement coupon automatically.
Do I need a separate email platform?
No – delivery runs through WordPress email (or your SMTP plugin). For coupon-only loops that’s sufficient; stores running broader email marketing connect FluentCRM alongside.
