Student Discount for WooCommerce

More than 3.5 million websites use WooCommerce to support their e-retail needs. From SMEs to large enterprises, the integration of WooCommerce into WordPress provides huge advantages for organisations wanting to focus on retailing rather than software development.

Businesses using the WooCommerce ecosystem can now integrate InAcademia’s student verification capabilities to their webshop by installing an easy-to-use WordPress plugin to facilitate offering discounts and special offers to students. Student Discount for WooCommerce can be installed and configured in a matter of minutes.  In contrast to the InAcademia API, the Student Discount for WooCommerce plugin can be installed and operated without the need for a local OIDC client.

It introduces a button or notice at your shopping cart that invites your users to validate that they are eligible to benefit from discounted products, and calculates the discount when the user’s ‘student’ affiliation has been confirmed. Used in conjunction with WooCommerce Marketing’s Coupon feature, you can control which products carry the button or notice, thus providing a flexible and robust tool to prove you value the loyalty of the student market.

This plugin was co-funded by the European Union and developed by a community of national academic identity federation operators. By choosing to use this plugin, you will be helping to support the development and operation of academic network and identity solutions.
