If you host a WordPress site using WooCommerce for your webshop, Student Discount for WooCommerce provides an even easier way to implement the InAcademia service. The plugin can be installed and configured in a matter of minutes, without the need for a local OIDC client.
It’s a free plugin that can add a button or notice at your checkout that invites your users to validate that they are eligible to benefit from discounted products. Used in conjunction with WooCommerce Marketing’s Coupon feature, it’s possible to show the button or notice on only the products that carry student privileges.

InAcademia provides a solution for validating the ‘studentness’ of higher education students enrolled at institutions that can be accessed by the eduGAIN interfederation.
If you have recently downloaded the Student Discount for WooCommerce plugin you will need a subscription to InAcademia’s student validation service in order to complete the setup of your plugin.
By proceeding with this purchase you are entering a rolling monthly subscription which will entitle you to 1,000 validations each month. If you anticipate that you will exceed this limit we would kindly ask that you contact us with your expected volumes before processing your order.
