Starbucks Officially Launches Starbucks Odyssey in Beta Version
JAKARTA - Starbucks has finally launched its web3 and NFT-based Starbucks loyalty program called Starbucks Odyssey in beta on Thursday, December 8 for members and partners (employees) of the first Starbucks Rewards in the US.
Back in September, Starbucks announced its plans for the Starbucks Odyssey experience. Shortly after the beta launch, Starbucks Odyssey members will be able to buy or sell NFTs, called Stamps, through the Starbucks Odyssey marketplace powered by the Nifty Gateway.
Then early next year, members will be able to buy limited edition stamps directly with a credit card, so customers won't need a crypto wallet or cryptocurrency to buy them.
Some of the main features of the Nifty Gateway in partnership with Starbucks are:
- Credit Card Payment Option that makes purchasing NFTs as easy as shopping online.
- Custodian Wallet secures and stores NFTs on behalf of your customers.
- Customer Service assists your customers when they need it.
