Key benefits
Familiar: Pay with the Cash App account you already use, with no new card details to enter
Fast: Approve payments in a couple of taps and get your crypto in minutes
Secure: You confirm each connection directly in Cash App, so your login stays with Cash App
Simple: Use one payment method for both buying and selling crypto
Before you start: fund your Cash App balance
To pay with Cash App Pay on MoonPay, you'll need enough money in your Cash App balance to cover your order. Payments are taken from your Cash App balance, so a linked card or bank account on its own won't cover a MoonPay transaction.
Important: If your Cash App balance doesn't have enough funds, your transaction will fail for insufficient funds. Add money to your Cash App balance before you buy or sell on MoonPay.

Troubleshooting
If your Cash App connection is declined
The most common reason is a name mismatch. Your Cash App account and your MoonPay account must be registered in the same name. Check that both accounts use the same legal name, then try again.
If your payment fails
Cash App may decline a payment for a few reasons, such as insufficient funds or a limit on your Cash App account. If your payment fails:
Check your Cash App balance and linked funding source, or
Use a different payment method in MoonPay
Refunds
If a transaction is declined or reversed, your funds are returned to your Cash App account. Refunds should be instant.
