Offer Cash App payments at WooCommerce checkout
Checkout with Cash App on WooCommerce PRO, also known as WooCash, adds Cash App payment options to a WooCommerce store. It supports two payment methods: Cash App Link for customers who send payment through a Cash App link, and Cash App Pay through the Square API integration for Square merchants.
The extension is intended for store owners who want to present Cash App as a payment choice during checkout. The available method depends on the account used: Cash App Link requires a Cash App account, while Cash App Pay requires a Square merchant account.
Choose between Cash App Link and Cash App Pay
Cash App Link displays the store’s Cash App $cashtag and redirects the customer to it so the off-site Cash App transaction can take place. Store settings can include the $cashtag, Cash App name, Cash App email, and Cash App phone number. This gives customers the information needed to send payment through the linked Cash App destination.
Cash App Pay uses the end-to-end Cash App Pay API integration connected to a Square account. For Square merchants, this provides a different checkout payment flow from the Cash App Link option. The plugin includes both methods, allowing the store configuration to reflect the account and payment process being used.
Automated order status updates
PRO users can use automated order status updates that move an order from on-hold to processing when the order amount is received. This is especially relevant for stores using the supported payment workflow and wanting the WooCommerce order record to reflect receipt of the payment.
Cash App Link payments can also be tracked through emailreceipts.io, a service described in the product information as helping update order statuses automatically. The integration can send automated emails to customers when an order status changes. Without emailreceipts.io, the order status must be updated manually in the WooCommerce administration area.
WooCommerce compatibility and store workflows
- Supports WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage compatibility.
- Supports WooCommerce Blocks.
- Works with translation plugins such as Loco and WPML for checkout, thank-you page, and email notices.
- Can be used with SMS for WooCommerce to send personalized bulk email and SMS notifications for orders that remain on hold.
A typical workflow is to activate the extension, enter the relevant Cash App or Square information, enable the desired payment method, and review the checkout presentation. After customers submit an order, the store can use the applicable payment process and manage order status from WooCommerce.
Installation and setup
Install and activate Checkout with Cash App on WooCommerce in the WordPress administrator, then open the plugin settings. Enter the required Cash App details for Cash App Link, or configure the Square merchant connection for Cash App Pay. Select the payment option you want to offer and test the checkout flow before making it available to customers.
PRO users receive priority support directly from the plugin developer, according to the product information. The extension also provides WooCommerce Blocks and HPOS support, making it suitable for stores using these WooCommerce features while retaining the choice between a Cash App link and Square-connected Cash App Pay.
