Having said that, let’s take a look at how to easily collect Cash App payments in WordPress. We will discuss 2 methods in this tutorial. You can use the links below to jump to the method of your choice.

Method 1: Collect Cash App Payments in WordPress With WP Simple Pay (Recommended)

If you want to add a Cash App payment form to your WordPress site without setting up a full eCommerce store, this method is a great fit. It’s ideal for nonprofits, membership sites, service providers, or anyone who needs a simple way to collect payments online.

For this, we recommend using WP Simple Pay, the best Stripe payments plugin for WordPress.

We’ve reviewed its features, tested it across different scenarios, and found it to be the most reliable option for accepting Cash App payments without any complicated setup.

The plugin offers a user-friendly form builder, secure payment processing, recurring payment support, and built-in Cash App integration. You can read our full WP Simple Pay review to learn why it stands out from the rest.

Step 1: Install and Activate WP Simple Pay

First, you need to install and activate the WP Simple Pay plugin. For details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Step 2: Configure the Setup Wizard

Upon activation, you will see a setup wizard on your screen. Here, just click the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button.

This will direct you to the next step, where you will need to add your plugin’s license key.

You can get this information in your account on the WP Simple Pay website. After that, click the ‘Activate and Continue’ button.

Now, you will be asked to connect your Stripe account with WP Simple Pay. Stripe is a popular payment gateway that allows you to accept online payments.

Please note that the plugin will not work unless you connect it with a new or existing Stripe account. To do this, click the ‘Connect with Stripe’ button to continue.

Then, you must log in to your Stripe account to connect it to WP Simple Pay. For more details, see our tutorial on how to accept Stripe payments in WordPress.

Upon a successful connection with Stripe, the setup wizard will ask you to configure your emails.

You can now enable options to receive email notifications for payment receipts, upcoming invoices, and payment notifications. You will also need to enter the email address you want to send them to.

Once you are done, just click the ‘Save and Continue’ button. You can then complete the other steps and exit the setup wizard.

Step 3: Create a Payment Form

Next, head over to the WP Simple Pay » Payment Forms page from the WordPress dashboard.

Here, click the ‘Create Your Payment Form’ button.

This will take you to the ‘Select a template’ screen, where you will notice a list of premade templates offered by the plugin.

From here, you can choose a suitable template by clicking the ‘Use Template’ button under it. For this tutorial, we will use the simple Payment Form template.

You will now be directed to the ‘Add New Payment Form’ page, where you can add a title and description for your form.

After that, you can select your form type as ‘On-site payment form.’

Step 4: Select Cash App as a Payment Option

Then, switch to the ‘Payment’ tab from the left column and choose your preferred tax collection rates from the dropdown menu under the ‘Tax Collection’ option.

Next, add the price for the service or product that you plan to sell using the form. If you have a subscription service, then you can select the ‘Subscription’ option.

Next, add subscription tiers by clicking the ‘Add Price’ button.

Once that is done, you have to scroll down to the ‘Payment Methods’ section and select the ‘All’ option from the dropdown menu.

Now, locate the ‘Cash App’ option and check the box next to it.

Step 5: Add, Edit, or Remove Form Fields

After that, just switch to the ‘Form Fields’ tab. From here, you can add a form field from the dropdown menu and configure its settings by expanding the tab.

You can also rearrange the existing fields by dragging and dropping them.

For instance, you can add and customize an address field on your form if you plan to sell a physical product or provide in-home sessions. That way, customers will need to give their home address when they make a purchase.

Step 6: Publish the Payment Form

Next, head to the ‘Payment Page’ tab and check the ‘Enable a dedicated payment page’ box.

The plugin will now let you build a custom page for your payment form without creating a new page on your blog or website.

You can add a permalink, color scheme, image, and footer text to customize the form.

Finally, click the ‘Publish’ button to store your settings.

You can now visit the WordPress site to view the Cash App payments form in action.

The experience will change depending on the device. Desktop users will see a QR code they can scan to pay. Mobile users will be redirected automatically to the Cash App app to complete the purchase.

Alternatively, you can also add the Cash App payment form to an existing page by clicking the ‘Publish’ button after adding form fields.

Then, visit a page/post in the WordPress dashboard and click the ‘Add Block’ (+) button in the top left corner to open the block menu.

From here, find and add the WP Simple Pay block to the page, and select the payment form you created from the dropdown menu within the block.

Next, click the ‘Update’ or ‘Publish’ button to save your changes.

After that, simply visit your WordPress site to view the Cash App payment form.
