Starbucks' app to allow barista tips

Starbucks' new app allows customers to make digital tips for the first time.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The new version of the app, due out March 19, will give customers a choice between no tip, 50 cents, $1 or $2 when checking out. They can add the tip up to two hours after they make the purchase.

Until now, customers using either their mobile phone app or credit or debit cards to pay could not include a tip on their bill. About 10 million customers have already downloaded the Starbucks app, which accounts for about 11% of in-store purchases.

Making payments will also be somewhat easier in the new version. Once the app is open, all a customer will have to do to reach the pay screen is shake the phone, rather than page through the various menus to get to the bar code.

Starbucks spokeswoman Linda Mills said the new app is being debuted for iPhones. Other versions, such as those for Android phones, are due out soon.

The Starbucks app, while very popular with customers, caused some negative publicity for the company in January after it was revealed it left customers' passwords open to attack. The company announced a software fix the next day.
