Stop academic discount abuse before it starts

Promo codes get shared on Reddit, posted in Discord servers, and forwarded to anyone who wants them. Proxi.id ties verification directly to the user’s session at checkout or during account setup — so only verified students and faculty can redeem your offer, every time.

You control who qualifies: filter by academic group, institution type, region, and more.

Build a pipeline for volume license sales

When individual students and faculty verify and redeem your offer, Proxi.id captures the institutional and regional data behind those transactions. Your enterprise academic sales team can use this to identify which institutions have the highest concentrations of active users — and turn them into targets for volume license deals.

Turn students into lifelong customers

Students who discover your brand through an academic program tend to stick around long after graduation. Proxi.id makes it easy to reward them with discounts, extended trials, or desk licenses for faculty — building loyalty at the moment it matters most.

A well-run academic program isn’t just good marketing. It’s a customer acquisition channel.

Compliance built in, not bolted on

FERPA, GDPR, CCPA — staying compliant while running an academic program can feel like navigating a minefield. Proxi.id collects only what’s needed to verify eligibility, and deletes all data on a rolling 7 day basis.

No sensitive student data is permanently stored on our servers reducing data privacy compliance risk.

Have questions? We have answers!

Starting or taking the next step with your academic program can be a daunting task. With decades of experience building and growing academic programs we’re ready to help.

Have a question about what we can do for your program? Get in touch with us.

We support a wide range of academic groups — including students, faculty, and staff. You decide exactly which groups qualify for your program. Eligibility can be further restricted by institution type (e.g. higher ed only), or by region.

Yes. We have data sources that cover thousands of accredited institutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. International students and faculty are verified using the same frictionless flow as domestic users, with no extra steps required on their end.

When the institution stops considering them to be an active student they will be deemed ineligible depending on the rules you set.

We don’t use discount codes, which are trivially easy to share or leak. Instead, verification is tied directly to the user’s session or account at the point of checkout or sign-up. Only the verified individual can redeem the offer, eliminating the most common form of academic discount abuse.

Yes. Our service is built to minimise data collection from the ground up. We verify eligibility without storing sensitive student records, and we never share personal data with third parties. This keeps you compliant with FERPA, GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations without requiring legal review on every integration.
