Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

About this plugin
ZELMU Verified Student Discounts is the official WordPress & WooCommerce plugin connecting your online store to the ZELMU Student Identity Network.
It enables online merchants and brand partners to offer exclusive, fraud-proof discounts to actively enrolled university and college students across 250+ accredited institutions without leaking personal student data.
Key Features
Instant Collegiate Verification: Validates students using official academic emails (.ac.in,.edu.in,.edu ) via cryptographic one-time passwords (OTP).

Zero Theme Collision: Enforces responsive flex/grid resets, guaranteeing our button never breaks theme layouts on single product or cart pages.
Storefront Floating Trust Badges: Responsive trust badges with automated clearance over mobile sticky checkout bars and customer support chat widgets.
WCAG AA Accessible: Includes keyboard navigation, visible focus outlines, and screen reader labels.
Page Builder Friendly: Includes shortcode [zelmu_student_discount] for Elementor, Divi, and Gutenberg.
