Sometimes, you know, it's a long-term connection to the school, but it is getting harder to get around the system.
So there are companies offer services for verification, such as ShareID and Unidays.
For ShareID, they tap into more than 200,000 data sources, including university registrars and other kinds of verification data to verify if someone is actually a student or not.
And for sometimes a company, you know, a brand working with them might require someone to submit data
you know, using facial recognition or IP address to verify their identity.
Sometimes.
It's not always required, but it can be, you know, added on, you know, if a company wants to do it that way.
It's a little bit different for how different platforms verification works.
For ShareID, they're more like a white glove service, which they're building to each different brand, like companies they work with.
For example, if you're signing up for Spotify student ID, you basically just kind of sign up in a typical way on Spotify's website, and then they will ask you to verify your student service.
So ShareID said they work with more than 300 different brands for the verification, including
Spotify, as well as the Wall Street Journal, uses Shear ID to verify for student subscribers.
Typically, a student just needs to submit their date of birth, their school name, and sometimes their school email address when they sign up for the student plan.
And if ShareID can't identify their status based on this information, they might ask the student to submit a picture of their student ID, a transcript, or any kind of documents that might show that they're actually enrolled in school.
Short answer is yes.
I've talked to people who were a Spotify student discount user who were able to get Hulu for free as part of the deal.
They simply don't watch TV or watch Hulu anymore because they don't have the access anymore.
to the cheap subscription.
So definitely for companies, they run the risk of losing customers.
But in other cases, I think they're hoping it, these students who are customers from a really young age to their products are able to stay on after they graduate from college and able maybe to pay for full price subscriptions.
