Introducing Beans iD
At Pion, we're passionate about connecting businesses with the right consumers. That's where Beans iD, our powerful verification tool, comes in. But Beans iD is more than just verification – it's also a gateway to exclusive discounts.
Why retail and ecommerce teams love Beans iD
Attract and acquire any closed consumer group
Target more of your best customers by rewarding the consumer groups that are most valuable for your brand with specific offers just for them. Choose from Gen Z students, graduates, military, healthcare, teachers, first responders, charity workers, people with disabilities, new parents, and low-income.
Instantly verify 1 billion potential customers
Beans iD is instant and immediately recognizable. With Beans iD you can verify a global addressable market of over 1 billion members of highly valuable closed consumer groups. Join the 3,500+ brands converting more visitors into paying customers by offering targeted discounts.
Enrich your customer profiles with zero party, consent based data
Collect zero-party data on verified customers that opt in to join your gated offer program. Use this customer contact data and additional insights to enhance your personalization, CRM and loyalty programs. Any logged in experience, rewards program or digital wallet can now leverage unique attributes linked to the users identity and behaviour.
Establish an emotional connection and activate word of mouth
Create a connection and tap into the social communities that exist within your target consumer groups with unique rewards that encourage them to buy from you again, and again, and again.
Secure verification you (and your customers) can trust
Beans iD ensures that only eligible members of the consumer groups you want to engage with can access your offers. You can also control the redemption mechanics as well as how often individuals can access your offers.
Maximise your brand's offer visibility
Helping you drive growth with valuable consumers, we’ll create a dedicated brand page on our marketplaces, where your offer will be discovered by millions of monthly active shoppers.
Verification for websites
Plug and play with a button on cart to reduce basket abandonment and a landing page to capitalize on branded search traffic. Both integrations are available with our Shopify app or web script. We also offer a fully hosted landing page option.
For integration with an existing loyalty or rewards program or any other bespoke user journeys, we recommend using our Beans iD API or Single Sign On (SSO).
Verification for apps
Discounts on your app are a game-changer. They grab attention, get more people to download, and create that "gotta-have-it" urgency. Plus, they show customers you're all about value, helping turn first-time users into loyal fans.
Verification for stores
Provide an in-store discount to customers that present their verified Beans iD, digital ID card when paying. Add additional tracking and unlock new and unique user insights with the use of voucher codes, barcodes or QR codes.

Got questions about Pion’s Beans iD verification?
Verification is the process of checking the status or eligibility of your customer, for example, a student, teacher or healthcare worker, to ensure they meet the criteria for your gated offer. For consumers, verifying is fast, free and easy - usually just taking a few clicks!
Yes! Our award-winning verification technology is available in over 100 countries.
We verify quickly and efficiently in real time. For Student Beans users, we use our network of academic portals with institutions around the world to instantly verify a student's status. For Beans iD users, they'll need to upload a single piece of evidence to confirm their status (for example ID badge or payslip) and Pion's team will be verifying these around the clock. A consumer only needs to verify with us once – after that, they’re in the system, making their purchase journey shorter – and increasing their likelihood to convert.
Our conversions varies by market and sector. However our brands typically deliver a 25% conversion rate from sessions to code redemptions and a 15% conversion rate from code redemption to transactions.
With our verification technology, we verify a consumer’s status from the established, direct integrations we have with academic institutions or by manually reviewing the uploaded verification document. Once verified, our award-winning verification tool facilitates the redemption of your offer by revealing a code for the consumer to complete their purchase via your website, app, or by revealing their Student Beans ID to complete their purchase in-store.
No, you are not required to be a part of an affiliate network to join Pion and use our plug-and-play solution to start running your own discount program. If you already use one of our 120+ approved affiliate networks then you can sign-up for one of our pricing plans with commission tracked via your affiliate network (CPA). Commission will be charged based on verified transactions - the percentage is dependant on the pricing plan you choose. If you are not part of an affiliate network or are offering a student in-store discount only then you can sign-up for one of our pricing plans with commission based on the number of verifications per calendar month (CPV). Unit cost of verifications depends on the pricing plan you choose.
During onboarding, our support team will send you detailed integration instructions – there are only 3 or 4 steps you'll need to follow. Onboarding should take no more than an hour. Our support team will also request and collect a list of assets to create your discount listing on our marketplaces where relevant.
With Pion, you can run gated targeted at students, graduates, health service workers*, first responders*, military personnel*, teachers*, parents* and those with a disability*. * these consumer groups are currently only available in UK, US, AU, CA & IE. In-store and app discounts are currently only for Student Beans users.
It's completely up to you! There’s a wide range of offers available for consumers with Student Beans and Beans iD, so whether you want to offer a discount of 5% or 95% - it's your choice. For the launch of your discount program, we recommend offering an exclusive discount and testing between a 10 – 20% discount. You can change your offer at any time by emailing your Customer Support contact.
Our advertising options can help you raise awareness of your brand and discount to drive traffic to your offer.
We have over 4.1m+ Student Beans verified students and our brand pages receive over 2.1m sessions per month.
