How Cash App links work
Every Cash App account has a public link: cash.app/ followed by your $Cashtag, like cash.app/$mayachen. On a phone with Cash App, it opens the app ready to pay you. Everywhere else it opens a Cash App web page with your name and a pay button.
Add a number to the end to fill in the amount: cash.app/$mayachen/25 opens a $25 payment. Cents work too, like /12.50. The payer sees it filled in and can change it before paying.
What a Cash App link can't do
There's no way to add a note or reason to a Cash App link. The payer types the note themselves, so say what the payment is for next to the link or under the QR code.
Cash App is for people in the US. Payers need a Cash App account, which needs a US phone number and bank card.
Where to use a Cash App QR code
A printed code saves people searching for your $Cashtag:
- A market stall or pop-up, one code per price.
- A tip jar, a busking sign or a salon mirror.
- Class, club or team fees, on a sign-up sheet.
- The end of a stream or a workshop slide.
Staying safe with Cash App
Your link only lets people send you money. But scammers like Cash App because payments are instant and hard to reverse, so only take payments from people you expect, and never send money to 'unlock', 'verify' or 'upgrade' a payment. Cash App doesn't ask for that.
Payments to a personal account aren't meant for business sales. If you sell often, look at a Cash App business account and its fees.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a Cash App link with an amount?
Add the amount after your $Cashtag: cash.app/$yourname/25. Type your $Cashtag and amount above and the tool builds it, with a QR code.
Can I add a note to a Cash App link?
No. Cash App links can fill in the amount but not the note. The payer adds a note themselves when they pay.
Can the payer change the amount?
Yes. The amount is filled in for them, but they can edit it before they send the payment.
Where do I find my $Cashtag?
Open Cash App and tap your profile picture. Your $Cashtag is under your name, and your cash.app link is the same name after cash.app/.
Does a Cash App link work without the app?
It opens a Cash App web page in the browser, but to pay, the person needs a Cash App account. On phones with the app, it opens straight in Cash App.
