Set up a subscription with Cash App Pay

Learn how to create and charge for a subscription with Cash App Pay.

Use this guide to set up a subscription using Cash App Pay as a payment method.

You can use the Checkout API to create and confirm a subscription with a prebuilt checkout page.

Create a product and price
Dashboard

Products represent the item or service you’re selling. Prices define how much and how frequently you charge for a product. This includes how much the product costs, what currency you accept, and whether it’s a one-time or recurring charge. If you only have a few products and prices, create and manage them in the Dashboard.

This guide uses a stock photo service as an example and charges customers a 15 USD monthly subscription. To model this:

  1. Go to the Products page and click Create product.
  2. Enter a Name for the product. You can optionally add a Description and upload an image of the product.
  3. Select a Product tax code. Learn more about product tax codes.
  4. Select Recurring. Then enter 15 for the price and select USD as the currency.
  5. Choose whether to Include tax in price. You can either use the default value from your tax settings or set the value manually. In this example, select Auto.
  6. Select Monthly for the Billing period.
  7. Click More pricing options. Then select Flat rate as the pricing model for this example. Learn more about flat rate and other pricing models.
  8. Add an internal Price description and Lookup key to organize, query, and update specific prices in the future.
  9. Click Next. Then click Add product.

After you create the product and the price, record the price ID so you can use it in subsequent steps. The pricing page displays the ID and it looks similar to this: price_G0FvDp6vZvdwRZ.

Create a Checkout Session
Server-side

Your customer must authorize you to use their Cash App account for future payments through Stripe Checkout. This allows you to accept Cash App payments. Add a checkout button to your website that calls a server-side endpoint to create a Checkout Session.

index.html
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Checkout</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="/create-checkout-session" method="POST">
      <button type="submit">Checkout</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Create a Checkout Session in subscription mode to collect the required information. After creating the Checkout Session, redirect your customer to the URL returned in the response.

Test your integration
Server-side

Select Cash App Pay as the payment method and tap Subscribe. While testing, this redirects you to a test page where you can approve or decline the setup.

In live mode, tapping Subscribe redirects you to Cash App. As a best practice, test in live mode with a real Cash App account before releasing it to your customers. In live mode, you don’t have the option to approve or decline the setup within Cash App. It’s automatically approved after your customer is redirected to Cash App.
