- A new main menu item called AI Student Verification will now appear in your WordPress admin sidebar.

2. License Key

- To activate your license, open WordPress admin → AI Student Verification → Settings.

3. Configuration

- Form Theme: Choose from built-in styles (Default, Minimal, Inline, Glass, Dark) to match your site design.
- Coupons: Add one coupon code per line. These will be issued automatically to verified students.
- Verification Mode: Choose “Strict” (high confidence, exact match) or “Loose” (more flexible, allows minor variations).
- Re-apply Limit: Define the minimum number of days before a student can re-apply for verification.
- Admin Copy: Optionally receive copies of verification emails at your site’s admin email address.

4. Usage

- Add the verification form to any page or post using the shortcode:
[aisv_verification_form]

- Students upload their ID and enter their email.
- The plugin sends the ID securely to the Google Gemini API for analysis.
- Gemini returns a verification result.
- If approved, the plugin issues a coupon automatically via email.
- If rejected, the student is notified with a customizable failure message.

Privacy Note: We use the paid version of the Gemini API, which ensures that your uploaded documents are not used for training or improving AI models. This keeps all verification data private and secure.

5. Troubleshooting

- Form not showing: Ensure you placed the correct shortcode [aisv_verification_form].
- Verification failed (API error): Check your Gemini API key and make sure you’re using the Paid version.
- No coupons available: Add new coupons under the Coupons section in settings.
- Emails not sending: Make sure your WordPress site has SMTP configured properly (e.g., with WP Mail SMTP).

6. Privacy & Legal

- AISV does not collect, log, or store IDs on BDS Plugins servers.
- Uploaded IDs are sent directly to the Google Gemini API (Paid version) and discarded after processing.
- The plugin only returns a yes/no verification result.
- Site owners are responsible for their own GDPR compliance, including whether IDs are stored by third-party form plugins.
- See our full Privacy Policy for details.
