Student and faculty verification for ecommerce

You can use one of our platform integrations or integrate directly with our service using our low code API. Either method will allow you to quickly get set up with our academic verification service. From there, students and faculty can be easily verified when applying specific deals and promos at checkout.

Adding academic verification to your checkout flow allows you to safely provide users with access to exclusive offers and discounts on your site. You can do this without the risk of fraud or leakage, enhancing trust for your brand and growing your customer base in the process.

Using one of our eCommerce platform integrations will have you up and running in less than five minutes. If you choose to do a custom implementation using our low-code API then it may take more time. Depending on the specific needs of your business, we can work with you to choose an option that suits your timeline for implementation for online student and teacher verification.

Integrations into school identity systems ensure that only eligible academic users can redeem offers and access content. Our service eliminates promo/discount codes, thus, preventing sharing of access to exclusive content. This is especially important in protecting your company’s products and exclusivity.

With our service, users are not required to create accounts or upload sensitive documentation to prove their academic status. This provides them with a frictionless user experience, which increases conversion rates. The easier the process for students and teachers to have their ID’s verified to access deals and promos through your business also increases the likelihood they will share their positive shopping experience with others.

Marketing to students is a sensible strategy for any business as they represent a customer segment that are highly influential with people in all demographics and are brand loyal. It’s easy to turn students into customers for life. After a seamless and positive checkout experience, students will be more inclined to repurchase from a business.

Academic verification is a key component of any academic program. Creating an academic program helps form relationships with academic users to increase brand loyalty and grow your business. Through student and teacher verification, these new customers will build a positive perception of your brand, turning their experience into longer term loyalty.

Our service is the perfect tool to help you provide academic users with personalized content, offers, and discounts. The ability to verify academic status allows you to reliably target users with customized messaging and exclusive offers. Proxi.id facilitates the use of these offers, working with your business to ensure the personalized content and discounts reach and are used by only the intended customers.

Laws like the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) all protect the privacy of user information in various ways. FERPA specifically relates to the protection and privacy of student education records. Using a service like ours ensures compliance with these data protection laws, as users are not required to submit personal information to verify their academic status. Other verification services, or in-house processes, require users to submit documentation that often contains personal information.

In most cases, we do not collect any information from users to facilitate the verification process. Integrations with academic institutions worldwide allow us to instantly verify users using single sign-on. By using this existing sign on option, we avoid collection any unnecessary data from faculty or student verification.

End-user privacy is a top priority at Proxi.id. We have designed our service to collect as little information as possible to facilitate verification, with no information required in most cases. We maintain a strong commitment to maximum privacy for all users, and if any information is collected from users to support teacher or student verification, it is deleted within seven days.
