What is SodaStream Connect?

The 21st century deserves a 21st century water fountain. Enter SodaStream Professional – a connected hydration ecosystem made up of three parts including a beautifully designed water dispenser, a personal QR code that enables seamless sign-ins and account connectivity, and a companion smartphone app to link it all together: SodaStream Connect.

The SodaStream Connect app helps you stay hydrated on the go, but it offers more than just great tasting beverages. It also allows you to set daily hydration goals, automatically tracks your water intake to help you stay hydrated and encourages reusable bottle use to reduce single-use plastic waste.

How does SodaStream Professional work?

SodaStream Professional is a connected hydration ecosystem made up of three parts: a beautifully designed water dispenser, the SodaStream Connect, and a personal QR code that links your drink preferences and reusable bottle to your account for easy pours.

Together, these elements provide a simple, smart way to track hydration and plastic bottles saved, as well as customize your water drink of choice while on the go.

To get started:

  1. Download the SodaStream Connect app via the App Store or Google Play Store and create an account using an email address.
  2. Add your bottle to your account by scanning its QR code with your phone’s camera.
  3. Visit your nearest SodaStream Professional, scan the QR code on your bottle or app, and create your custom drink!
  4. Use the app to view your last pour, favorites, drink history, favorite combinations, water intake, plastic bottles saved and more.

How do I add a bottle to my account?

Once you create a mobile app account, you can add a bottle by navigating to the ‘Edit Account’ section in the mobile app and clicking on “Add your bottle.” Add your bottle by scanning its QR code with your phone’s camera.

Where can I find my QR code?

QR codes for account access can be accessed on the SodaStream Connect mobile app. You may also apply a QR code sticker directly to your reusable bottle.

Where do I get the QR code sticker for my bottle?

SodaStream Professional will work with partner workplaces, universities, and retailers to distribute QR codes. Be on the lookout for local communication on how to get your sticker.

Do I need a certain type of bottle in order to use SodaStream Connect?

No, you can use any reusable bottle with SodaStream Professional system.

How do I pay to pour?

Some SodaStream Professional dispensers may require payment using a mobile device. To pay, simply follow the prompts on the touch screen to:

  1. Scan the payment QR Code with the camera on your mobile device
  2. Select your payment method from the payment screen on your phone
  3. Enter your payment information and, when verified, use the QR Code provided on your phone to display in front of the dispenser’s QR Code scanner – found at the bottom right of the screen.

How do I use my SodaStream Connect Account to Make Payments Faster?

SodaStream Connect app account users are able to store three types of payment. Once added to your account, they can be accessed by signing into a dispenser with your account QR Code.

  1. Credit Card: you can store a credit card on file in your Connect account, allowing you to automatically access this payment profile anytime you sign into a dispenser with your Account QR Code. You won’t be charged for any pour until after your beverage is fully dispensed.
  2. Subscription QR Code: some locations that require payment may also have a subscription program available (ask your business manager or food services operator if you are uncertain about your location). Subscription QR Codes may be added to your Connect account and accessed anytime you sign into a dispenser with your Account QR Code.
  3. Promotion QR Code: some locations that require payment may provide promotional pours with a QR Code. These can also be scanned into your Connect account and accessed when you sign into a dispenser.

What if I have multiple payment options on my SodaStream Connect account?

It is possible to store a credit card on file, while also having a subscription and/or promotion. In this case, we use the following hierarchy to choose your automated payment method:

How can I customize my drink and save as a favorite?

Who says water can’t be personalized? SodaStream Professional offers several customizable options to help you create your perfect pour, including your choice of still or sparkling water, and delicious, unsweetened flavor options. You can then personalize the flavor intensity, temperature and CO2 level, depending on your current cravings, mood or activity.

Use the SodaStream Connect app to view your history and tap the heart on your drink to ‘favorite’ the customized pours you like best.

Why does SodaStream Connect track your water intake?

As more consumers think actively about their overall health and wellness, hydration is a bigger priority than ever. We want to give people an easy, automatic way to track their water intake and meet their personal hydration goals.

What does the Hydration Goal recommendation mean?

Current research from several different sources, including the Mayo Clinic and the Institute of Medicine, recommend drinking at least eight 8 oz glasses of water each day.

What is a Hydration Goal? Can I change it?

Hydration Goal is your daily target of water intake to stay hydrated. Yes, you can change the goal based on your preference through the SodaStream Connect app.

What is Bottles Saved?

It’s our view that once people realize the ease and impact of using a refillable bottle, they will be less likely to turn to a single-use plastic bottle. So, with each pour at SodaStream Professional, it calculates how many plastic bottles you have saved to date, which will appear in the app as a fun way to track your personal environmental impact overtime. See table below:

Region Bottle Volume
USA 16 oz
EU 0.5L

Once you pour a drink from SodaStream Professional, your mobile app account will show your drink history and display an option to ‘favorite’ it for future pours.

How do I turn off push notifications?

In your SodaStream Connect app go to account settings and select “Communication Preferences” to switch on or off push notifications.

What does SodaStream Connect app track?
