How to Get a Refund — Step by Step

  1. 1To refund a payment directly in the app or on cash.app: Go to the Activity tab, select the payment you'd like to refund, choose Refund, and press Confirm.
  2. 2For Cash App Pay refunds, contact the merchant directly; Cash App cannot request refunds on your behalf.
  3. 3If 10 business days have passed since the merchant confirmed your Cash App Pay refund and it hasn't arrived, you can file a dispute in the app.

When You Can Get a Refund

  • Customers seeking a Cash App Pay refund must request it directly from the merchant; once a transaction is completed, only the merchant can issue a refund.
  • Refunds must not have an amount greater than the captured amount on the original payment.
  • Refunds are linked to a previously captured Cash App Pay Payment.
  • Transaction fees will not be returned to the Payment Service Provider (PSP) in the event of a refund.
  • Refunds may be declined if the customer's Cash App account is deactivated.
  • Refunds may be declined if the merchant is deactivated or their onboarding has not yet completed.
  • Refunds may be declined for compliance reasons, including violation of Cash App Terms of Service, Program Rules, or applicable laws.
  • Refunds may be declined if the requested amount is too high (above maximum refund size) or too low (below $0.01 USD).

All Refund Methods

  • Cash App balance
  • linked bank account
  • linked debit card

Dispute Process

  • You can file a dispute if the merchant won't respond, refuses a refund you believe you're owed, or 10 business days have passed since the merchant confirmed the refund.
  • In Cash App, select the profile icon > Support > Cash App Card > Dispute a purchase > Start a dispute; Cash App reviews the transaction and sends updates in the app.

Additional Notes

  • Cash App Pay refunds go back to the original payment method; if the payment came from your Cash App balance, the refund is available as soon as Cash App receives it.
  • Cash App Pay payments taken from a linked debit card may take up to 10 business days (14 calendar days) to be refunded to your bank account.
  • Refunds for Stored Value Balance (SVB) are immediate.
  • Once a refund is confirmed, funds will be returned to the sender's Cash App balance or linked bank account.
