Congratulations on beginning your journey with Starbucks Odyssey! Listed below are some steps to help prepare you to participate in drops, secure your account, and more.
1. ✍️ Account Access: If you don’t already have a Starbucks Odyssey account, you won’t be able to participate in drops. You can join the waitlist here.
2. ✅ Account Validation: To be eligible to participate in certain drops, you'll need to validate your account. This quick process will consist of verifying the code sent to your mobile phone. You can do this within your profile settings here.
3. 🔒 2FA: Two-factor authentication is incredibly important for securing your collection. Within your Security settings here, you'll have the option to enroll in SMS verification or via Authy One-touch 2FA.
4. 💳 Payment Methods: Now that you've validated & secured your account, here are the steps to adding different payment methods to your profile:
- Credit/Debit Card: To add a card as a payment method, navigate to your Balance & Payment Method settings here and select the 'Credit Cards' tab. Once you've entered your card information, you'll be prompted to verify 2 micro-auth amounts listed on your statement (these transactions are temporary and will be removed after verification).
- Nifty Balance: After you sell a Stamp on the market, the proceeds from that sale will reflect in your balance here. This balance can be withdrawn or used as a payment method to purchase Stamps.
- In addition to the payment methods above, you'll have the option to use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Buy Now, Pay Later via Klarna. These options will appear in the payment method selection dropdown menu at checkout.
5. 🎆 Participating in Drops: You can now participate in drops on the Starbucks Odyssey Market, powered by Nifty Gateway! Here is a quick guide on how different drop types work on the primary market: Drop Types: Explained. When the drop is live, access the purchasing page by going to the Market tab within the Odyssey experience.
Once you're ready to purchase a live drop, you can proceed to select your preferred payment method at checkout.
