About the report:

Consumers are increasingly using new methods of payment on their mobile devices. This trend is particularly true for younger generations with 40% of Gen Z already making in-app payments and 76% saying they’re more likely to do business with a company that offers flexible payment options. Starbucks has been a pioneer in this space–and reaped the benefits. Over the course of 2020 alone, the percentage of Starbucks purchases made through their app increased from 17% to 24%.
