Tableau, Costco and Symantec are just a few companies using new technology that expedites promotional campaigns, prevents fraudulent purchases, captures and retains consumers and uses analytics to analyze consumer-purchasing trends.

The PGA Tour also counts itself among this group partnering with SheerID, a point-of-sale verification provider that, for these golf events in particular, can verify the status of active duty, military retirees, dependents and veterans who are interested in obtaining a complimentary or discounted tickets offered at select PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Web.com Tour events, as part of the Birdies for the Brave program.

“We are excited to partner with Birdies for the Brave to help them honor our country’s service men and women with access to PGA TOUR events nationwide,” said Jake Weatherly, CEO and co-founder of SheerID. “SheerID’s technology allows them to target offers and give back to these specific audiences through our fast, secure military verification software.”

This software can also be used to verify student discounts or that any other customers are eligible for a business’s special offers by connecting a company’s website, POS, customer service reps and/or mobile app with any database. Additionally, SheerID states that the verification process works instantly, so, in most cases, customers won’t even know they’re being verified and the solution requires no integration and is customizable.

Does your e-commerce property offer military or student discounts? How can you confirm these buyers qualify? Well, if you’re a Magento powered platform, you’ll now be able to use SheerID’s verification plugin to protect your most special, targeted discounts.

SheerID’s recently announced integration with Magento™ enables e-commerce retailers to create and promote codes and discounts on the Web that can only be redeemed by qualified customers who belong to “select” customer groups such as veterans, active-duty military, teachers, college students, or members of preferred non-profit associations.

The integration for Internet retailers seems straightforward. SheerID now provides a plugin that uses the SheerID API to provide the instant verification capabilities. The actual verification can happen at any point within a Magento™ site, including targeted landing pages (using CMS template tags) or by adding the SheerID Verify block to a layout. SheerID indicated that in the future capabilities will include the addition of catalog items that require verification and verified account registration for creating preferred customer accounts.

“SheerID is excited to provide a solution for Magento™ platform users who want to offer targeted discounts without risking their ROI or margins,” said SheerID CEO, Jake Weatherly. “SheerID has changed the face of online discounts. With SheerID, retailers can manage and track their special offers, expand their marketing, and deepen their discounts, all while eliminating fraud."
