Let's turn every birthday into a chance to boost loyalty and delight your customers!
How to Import Customer Birthday Data
Step 1: Export your customer list from your previous app or platform in CSV format. Make sure to include Email and Birthday fields in the export.
Step 2: Log in to your Loloyal Admin account and go to: Preferences > Import Loyalty Data
Step 3: Upload your CSV file using the correct format.
Tips for a Successful Upload
No blank cells are allowed in the Email or Birthday columns.
The email address must already exist as a customer in your Shopify store.
Use one of these date formats:
MM-DD(e.g., 07-23)YYYY-MM-DD(e.g., 1995-07-23)
Valid date ranges:
Year: between 1900 and 2100
Month: between 01 and 12
Day: between 01 and 31
To prevent Excel from auto-formatting the date, pre-format the Birthday column as Text before saving the file.
Once imported, Loloyal will automatically recognize upcoming birthdays and trigger your birthday reward workflows — making it easy to surprise and delight your customers right on time! 🎁
