How to accept Cash App for business

  1. 1

    Switch to a Cash App for Business account

    Accepting business payments requires a Business account (free to open). It unlocks a public $cashtag and payment acceptance — but every incoming payment is charged 2.75%.

  2. 2

    Share your $cashtag or a payment link

    Clients can pay to your $cashtag or a Cash App payment link. For real jobs, send an invoice with the amount so there's a clear record of what was billed.

  3. 3

    Add a free payment option

    List a bank transfer or PayID on the same invoice. Clients who choose it cost you nothing, so you dodge the 2.75% while still offering Cash App to those who want it.

    Track income for taxes

    Cash App for Business reports payments on a 1099-K past the threshold. Keeping invoices and receipts means your business income is documented and tax time is simple.
