Starbucks is making changes to its mobile application that will allow customers visiting its stores to tip their baristas from their iPhones.
The feature will be made available from March 19th, and will work at any of its stores across the U.S., U.K. and Canada.
According to Techcrunch, the app, TippingAlso, will suggest tip amounts on the transaction screen, allowing users to pick from 0.50 dollars, 1.00 dollar and 2.00 dollars tips.
It also has a "no tip" option for users who want to give no tip.
Users can also give a tip up to two hours after the transaction takes place.
