Military Discounts - How do I know for sure they're Military?

Hi there,

I'd like to start Military Discounts in our store, but how do you know the person is in the Military - not all their items are shipped to APO addresses...

Good question - The only way to verify it for certain would be to see their military ID, but that is impractical on the web. You might ask for their Rank, Branch and Unit on the initial sign up and then use the Group Discount facility after you have verified them.

Thanks.. I was considering having them fax a copy of their IDs... But sometimes that's a bit impractical too... I like that idea of the Rank, Brand & Unit ... all those plus the Mil ID #..

If you're doing it this way, then you can just use Group Discounts.
