How to get Apple Student Discount - 2023

How can I confirm if the student discount is applied? I can't find it on the payment page.

I don't know what account you mean when you say "the account under my name and I am paying for it". Do you mean Apple ID? If so, that really doesn't matter. What matters is that she is in college.

Apple says:

Apple Education Pricing is available to current and newly accepted university students and their parents, as well as teachers and staff at all levels. Quantity limits apply.

You should be fine.

When buying a new IPad lets say pro instead of paying 999$ you’ll see 899$ compare the different prices with the the other products

You need to go through the Apple Education site.

Education Pricing and Student Discounts - Education - Apple

I believe verification requirements vary by region. I bought an MBA last year using the education discount (I'm staff at a university). I ordered it online and picked it up in store. I think they looked at my work ID but I don't recall.

I could be mistaken, but I believe the Apple Education Pricing and Student Discounts site is like a separate little store with its own price list.

You would order from that site – which would probably. require some sort of verification.

As for what discount, if any, you get, I would suggest looking at configurations both on the regular online Apple Store site and on the Education site. The sites are not set up to make it easy to go back and forth, but I believe that is what you need to do if you want to see if any particular configuration is discounted, and by how much.
