Verification is through SheerID
Spotify uses SheerID to verify student status, so getting the discount is not just a matter of clicking a cheaper plan and hoping it works.

Spotify Student plan: eligibility, Hulu, and the catch most people miss
Spotify Premium Student can be one of the strongest-value music plans if you qualify, but the details matter. Eligibility depends on verified higher-education enrollment, the discount has a time limit, and it needs to be reverified regularly rather than running forever on autopilot.
What matters most
The details that usually decide what people do next.
The discount is limited
Spotify says eligible students can get the discount for up to 4 years, but they need to renew and reverify every 12 months.
Billing restrictions apply
Spotify says you cannot use some partner billing methods for the Student plan, which means some people need to cancel a current setup and rejoin with an eligible payment method.
