If you’re encountering a “System Error” on the Starbucks app, it could be due to various reasons like a connectivity issue, app malfunction, or server-side problems.
Here are a few quick fixes you can try to resolve the issue:
Quick Fixes
1. Check for Server or Network Issues
Before diving into more technical fixes, check if the problem is on Starbucks’ side:
Starbucks Server Status: Sometimes, app issues occur due to server outages or maintenance. You can check for any ongoing issues on their official Twitter account or Starbucks Customer Service page.
Internet Connection: Ensure your Wi-Fi or mobile data is working correctly. If your connection is slow or intermittent, it could cause a system error in the app.
Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa.
Restart your router or enable and disable Airplane Mode on your phone.
2. Restart the App
Sometimes, the app might experience a temporary glitch that causes the system error. Here’s what you can do:
Force Close and Reopen:
On iPhone: Swipe up from the bottom (or double-press the home button), and swipe the Starbucks app off the screen to close it.
On Android: Go to your Recent Apps screen and swipe away the Starbucks app to close it.
After force closing, reopen the app to see if the issue is resolved.

3. Update the Starbucks App
Check if there is a new version of the app available:
For iOS: Go to the App Store, search for Starbucks, and see if an update is available.
For Android: Open the Google Play Store, search for Starbucks, and tap Update if an update is available.
Outdated apps may have bugs or compatibility issues that could be causing the system error.
4. Clear Cache (For Android Devices)
If you’re using an Android device, clearing the app’s cache might fix the problem:
Go to Settings on your phone.
Scroll down to Apps or Apps & Notifications.
Find and select Starbucks from the list.
Tap on Storage, then select Clear Cache.
This will remove any temporary files that might be causing the error without deleting any saved data in the app.
5. Log Out and Log Back In
A corrupted session can sometimes trigger errors in the app:
Go to the Starbucks app settings and log out of your account.
After logging out, restart the app and then log back in with your credentials to see if the issue is resolved.
6. Uninstall and Reinstall the Starbucks App
If none of the above fixes work, reinstalling the app can help resolve persistent issues:
Uninstall the App: Press and hold the Starbucks app icon and select Uninstall.
Reinstall: Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and download the Starbucks app again.
7. Check Your Phone’s Software Version
Outdated operating systems can cause compatibility issues with certain apps. Make sure your phone’s software is up to date:
For iOS: Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
For Android: Go to Settings > System > Software Update.
8. Contact Starbucks Support
If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact Starbucks customer service for help:
Starbucks Support: You can contact Starbucks through their Help section in the app, their official website, or their customer service number.
For U.S. customers: 1-800-782-7282
Explain the issue you’re experiencing, and they may offer further troubleshooting steps or provide assistance for a known problem.
Bonus Tips
If the “System Error” happens when trying to redeem a reward or use a gift card, it may be a server issue with their payment system. In such cases, try again later or use a different payment method.
