SheerID verifies student enrollment and military status in real time — so software platforms can offer discounted tiers at scale without fraud or revenue leakage.
Trusted by leading brands to verify 2.5B+ consumers worldwide
Student and military pricing drives user growth. But without verification, those tiers bleed revenue, inflate CAC, and produce users you can't retain.
Disposable .edu addresses and email generators let ineligible users access student pricing. Even a low fraud rate at volume translates to significant revenue loss on your discounted tier — and the problem grows with every new signup.
Multi-account fraud and fake signups create phantom users that distort acquisition metrics and waste onboarding resources. Your real CAC is higher than it looks — and you can't distinguish verified users from fraudulent ones in your funnel.
Without lifecycle detection, discounted users either stay at reduced pricing indefinitely or hit an abrupt cancellation. Neither is ideal for revenue or retention — and the transition from discount to full-price is the most critical moment in the subscriber journey.
SheerID is purpose-built for high-volume consumer apps. Instant verification, seamless re-verification, and lifecycle signals — all at scale.
Verify student enrollment and military status in under 3 seconds — embedded directly in your signup flow. No .edu email required. Powered by 200K+ authoritative data sources including university enrollment records and DoD databases.
Background re-verification checks eligibility on a configurable cadence. Eligible users are re-verified silently. Graduated students receive a clear upgrade path — turning a potential churn moment into a full-price conversion opportunity.
Every verification generates zero-party data: school name, graduation year, military branch. Use this to personalize onboarding, predict churn windows, trigger upgrade campaigns, and measure CAC by verified segment.
SheerID enables software platforms to acquire high-intent users through verified discounts, reduce fraud at scale, and create smooth lifecycle transitions that protect revenue.
"Verified offers convert at 3x the rate of open promotions because they create a sense of exclusivity and belonging. When users know the offer is just for them, they act on it."
SheerID verifies enrollment directly against 9,000+ university enrollment databases worldwide — not email domains. Users enter their name, date of birth, and school. SheerID checks authoritative records in real time, returning a result in under 3 seconds.
Yes. SheerID processes millions of verifications monthly for clients including T-Mobile, Nike, and Samsung. API response times are under 3 seconds at the 99th percentile. The platform auto-scales for peak enrollment seasons.
SheerID sends proactive, branded notifications before discount expiry. Users who are still eligible re-verify in one click. For those who've graduated, SheerID provides a graceful transition UX with a clear upgrade path — converting cancellations into retention moments.
Each verification returns consented data: verified community (student, military), school name, expected graduation date, military branch, service dates. This feeds into your CRM for personalization, churn prediction, and segment-level analytics. All GDPR/CCPA-compliant.
SheerID provides embeddable JavaScript widgets and REST APIs that drop directly into your web and mobile signup flows. Verification happens inline — no redirects. The widget is fully customizable to match your UI. Most integrations go live in under 2 weeks.
Brands using SheerID typically see up to 90% reduction in unqualified discount redemptions. SheerID's authoritative data sources and identity-binding verification make it extremely difficult to game — even at consumer scale.
40 million students will choose or renew a software plan this year. The platforms that win aren't the ones with the lowest price — they're the ones that make the offer feel earned.
