Starbucks has deployed Adyen payment terminals across 943 stores across the UK, Austria and Switzerland.
European payments processing firm Adyen, which also today reported financial results, said the rollout builds on an existing partnership with Starbucks’ licensee Alsea, for which Adyen already powers payments in Mexico.
Adyen said its payments platform has to date processed the sale of over 20 million cups of Starbucks coffee across these markets, and it is powering payments at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Milan.
Across the UK, Austria and Switzerland, Adyen said its platform went live in 900 stores in seven weeks and that teams successfully live-boarded 125 stores in a single week, with migration completed during standard working hours.
