Starbucks announced on Wednesday that it will be partnering with Square.
Square is a phone app that allows you to pay without pulling out a card or cash.
When you are ready to pay at a location, that uses Square, your name and picture show up on the screen of the register.
By giving the cashier your name, it confirms your identity, the charge is added to your tab, which is then pulled by Square from your account.
The app is even capable of letting you know about nearby locations that are using it, giving you discounts the first time you try a place.
Starbucks is also going to be investing twenty-five million dollars into Square, Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz will be joining Square's board of directors.
