Before you buy
- When can I use Starbucks App Provisional Membership?
- The service is available from September 9, 2026, after downloading the official Starbucks app and selecting the app provisional membership option.
- How much is the Starbucks Rewards campaign benefit?
- Eligible customers may receive a ¥100 OFF eTicket during the campaign period. Some participant and purchase conditions apply.
- Can I pay with PayPay?
- Yes. PayPay can be used for Mobile Order & Pay, including by app provisional members. Stars are not awarded when paying with PayPay or Apple Pay.
The app provisional membership is linked to the device used to access it, including any Stars and Starbucks Card balance information. Starbucks recommends completing a full My Starbucks registration if customers want to transfer information to another device or use reward redemption and balance-related services.
PayPay support for Mobile Order & Pay began on August 18, 2026. The app provisional membership makes the ordering process more accessible by removing the need to register before placing an order, while still allowing customers to choose from several payment methods.
