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.

It’s not like bitcoin needs the support of these big players, in fact, it would be beneficial for them too if they are adopting the new technology. When I observe the market, I see two types of merchants, those who are adopting change today and those who are not adopting change today. I believe the day after tomorrow will be a whole new lifestyle and if someone is not changing today, he still has a chance tomorrow, but if he still ignores the change, then things are going to be difficult for him even for survival.

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.

This will not work and the service will either pivot into something else or close down at some point in the future. My question here is, why would I use Bitcoin to buy coffee at Starbucks when cash and my credit card works fine? I would like to keep all my Bitcoins because it is rising and it will not stop rising until it reaches a trillion $ value in market cap, thank you very much.

This is a good development for bitcoin users. You can now have a hot coffee from Starbucks by using bitcoin as currency. Hope 2017 other store start accepting bitcoin for payments.

It's a new service that opened earlier this year so It's normal that you don't know much about them. I'm sure they are legit as the team members are known and their CEO was a former executive on Amazon.com .

Is it available in germany??

I suppose so . The article didn't say much and only mentioned USD but since the mobile app is the same for all countries , It's likely that It's worldwide and the deposited BTC will be exchanged to the local currency with real time rates.

Thats great to hear starbucks accepting bitcoin as payment will surely gain high reputation to bitcoin because it iliminates slow transactions of payments on cafe's and as long as you have that option of bitcoin payment, that will surely increase market of the store. Hopefully future of online payment like bitcoin will educate people ti adopt for better life and became part of our daily spending.

So they aren't really accepting Bitcoin, they are just adding a Bitcoin payment processor to their payment options.

It's time merchants started to accept Bitcoin directly.

Yes they not direct accept bitcoin. But unfortunately, this is not true in all Starbucks outlets, after I read the post here and I came across starbucks outlets closest to my city, apparently do not accept bitcoin. In addition, to be able to accept bitcoin is impractical, so I think better use the money pay as usual.

I was asking the guy in starbucks today if they accept bitcoin and the guy look at me like I was speaking foreign language, lol. Apparently they never heard that starbucks will accept bitcoin.

I think only in few countries the Starbucks shops accepting bitcoin, and i heard that some coffee cafe is taking bitcoin's in the UK but still I am not sure this news is true or false. Until it comes to our country and we do any transaction till that it's fake news only. Without valid proof, i will not trust this type of story.

it's time for bitcoin to be accepted as like as traditional currency over the world.
this digital currency is good way to restrict inflation Once the traditional currency does not have this inflation restriction .

Starbucks has a huge customer base and is a respected brand. However in my opinion they are totally overpriced and the quality of their beverages is only average. Imho it's a ripoff. So on a very personal level I don't really care if they accept Bitcoin or not.

But for their Bitcoin acceptance being of any relevance to the Bitcoin ecosystem, they must accept Bitcoin directly, not via a 2nd or 3rd layer solution. Bitcoin was meant to do away with third parties exerting control over people's money and it has all power to achieve this. Therefore I want to see native Bitcoin acceptance before applauding.

ya.ya.yo!

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

This kind of bitcoin can lead for starbucks to attract more customers especially those bitocoin enthusiasts. This is one of the proof that bitcoin community is getting bigger and bigger and soon many stores will follow what startbucks did and that is accepting bitcoin which can help for the community to grow.
