Starbucks accepting bitcoin

[fortunecrypto]

Even though , iPayYou doesn't look as good as other services such as Bitpay for example , they managed to make Starbucks accepting bitcoin in their official application and that's definitly an achievement for a new service like them.
In order to use this feature , you first have a wallet in iPayYou otherwise It's not going to work. The next year already sound very promising and I can't wait to see more .

Ipayyou is not a popular service but with starbucks they might get into mainstream,I think this is a new service and they might incorporate many service in the future,who knows Mcdonald might be added soon or many popular fastfood and cuisine.

I think this step is mutually beneficial, perhaps this is a subsidiary of starbucks. But we must appreciated this step for make bitcoin more popular again.

Yeah, this is surely a big effort by one of the largest chained network to accept bitcoin into their service which mutually supports the growth of Starbucks as well the supporting firm. This might eventually get the attention of similar such service providers similar to Starbucks.

First of all i never heard this site before, however it's pretty cool that we can order some coffe in starbucks using bitcoin, at this point they don't accept bitcoin directly i think due to the bitcoin is not popular enough or confirmation time is extremely slow, actually we can buy some cofee in starbucks using our bitcoin debit card, i remember someone from here asked startbucks on his area do they accept bitcoin or not. how funny they don't know what it is and even never heard it before.
I personally used fiat in starbucks i'll be happy if they really accept bitcoin as payment method.

this sounds great to read the topic only but when i think about it, this doesn't seem like accepting "bitcoin" to me because it is a third party application, most probably with additional fees and pays the shop in fiat not bitcoin.

until i can see QR code to scan and directly send bitcoin myself, on-chain i wouldn't call it paying with bitcoin

[Wandering Soul~]

Unfortunately, My country does not included but it is a great news if your a coffee lover and your country is included . Starbucks technically accepts bitcoin using a third party but we necessarily need stores accepting it directly to avoid additional fees and for bitcoins adoption . Overall its a great news cause it will spread bitcoin awareness to people .

Well if that indeed is the case then with both those franchises can launch bitcoin into a new stratosphere. And with the sudden enormous rise of the price per bitcoin, it is only a matter time before the corporate big wigs there take notice and jump on it.
But I could of sworn that Starbucks was accepting payments by bitcoin since last year.

Update: I was right! Through this app: https://coffee.foldapp.com/

And since late last year - https://news.bitcoin.com/starbucks-customers-can-now-choose-between-bitcoin-apple-pay/

Wow this looks great.
I can now buy coffees using my bitcoin and not worrying about my pocket money because i got bitcoin .
Hopes many stores will accept bitcoin also because it makes our money secured because you don't need to bring your pocket always because you got bitcoin and you just need to bring your phone and do shopping .

[eternalgloom]

So, does this also mean that you will see the Bitcoin logo on the Starbucks website when paying through iPayYou? Or do you just see the iPayYou logo?
Also, the iPayYou website looks really bad, the cheesy logo and banner on the front page, come on....

Seems interesting for some people, but considering that it uses another service layer chances are they aren't going to get a ton of interest in it. They might get some, but likely not as much as if it was direct.

Doesn't matter much to me, though. I don't use Starbucks or drink coffee at all, but I hope this benefits some of the Starbucks customers on this forum.

You have a very good point. You would have to be an avid visitor of star bucks to use another layor. If it were just a simple bitcoin wallet transaction then anyone with bitcoin would use bitcoin to pay for anything from them and probably even just visit st least once to see how it is.

There is another problem though. I really love coffee and I see no point in going to star bipucks when I can drink freshly ground beans from anywhere in the world right from the comfort of my own Nome with my own coffee machine. So really if you like coffee that much you not going to be going to Starbucks all the time so thst would mean very few people will register with them since they dont use star bucks enough to warrent it. Where is a strait bitcoin wallet transaction would work every time.

Such big brands as Starbucks make a good commercial to bitcoin. Those people who work there see the all perspective about bitcoin in general. I think soon we will se that other brands such as McDonalds or Apple will adopt bitcoin as well.

Bitcoin was already great before companies like these came to accept the currency. Many people buy Bitcoin for the simple fact of being an efficient way of storing value... But seeing the currency being accepted by big companies like Steam, Starbucks and others will actually make Bitcoin gain more popularity around the world.

Well I think the same way, because as I can see here is that they need a third party to have payment in bitcoin, as a result of this, they will start charging extra fee for it. So from my perspective, I don't assume this case is accepting bitcoin, it's just like using your credit card for payment instead of cash.

[CraigWrightBTC]

Is it available in germany??

I think yes, the manager of Starbuck had applied bitcoins for payment method, usually the rules on the company will be applied on other part of office, should it is available in Germany.
Unfortunately I am not from Germany, so I can not give the answers clearly but let us wait the answers from people of Germany.

[Kray]

I'm glad to heat that. Is it available unn all country?

[carlisle1]

this could be very interesting and convenient for some other people who really loves to order and drink coffee at Starbucks but the thing is that it seems that this service is only available in US so there'd be only a limited people who can use their service maybe they should also make something to be available to other countries in order to have more people to provide their service .

Even if it is an indirect use of Bitcoin, it's still good news. Bitcoin could be behind the scenes as a means of transferring money in many ways.

I guess in this case people don't really care whether it's indirect or direct use of bitcoin but they just care about how they could pay off a cup of coffee in Starbucks by using bitcoin and make their bitcoin have an additional function even a little. In other words, it's matter drink and when people drinking they don't give attention to the blockchain system

When it comes to a guilty pleasure most people don't care about how to get it as long as they get it, I have seen people addicted to coffee the same way you could see someone else addicted to illegal substances, people drinking 20 cups of coffee per day, shaking because they have been without caffeine for too long and stuff like that.

They have all sorts of gift cards, including Starbucks:

In my country, a Bitcoin exchanger (coins.ph) recently launched their own virtual credit card, I plan to load my Starbucks card using that virtual credit card, if it works, then maybe I can say that Starbucks in my country accepts Bitcoin through a VCC but if its direct paying Starbucks using Bitcoin then we don't have it yet here.

It would be better for you to keep all your Bitcoin savings intact because there is really no need for them to be spent to buy coffee in Starbucks of all places. Just use cash. It is a better form of payment for your daily wants and needs.

i wonder starbucks will open their shop in many places because not all country have starbucks to buy coffee and i think in my places its few starbucks store so maybe i need to wait more time to buy coffee in starbucks. but i am sure, this step will be follow by another store so people can spend their bitcoin to buy the products.
