Cash App TOS Changed
Friday, October 30, 2026
What this means for you
Cash App's checkout feature now also covers loyalty programs and in-store rewards at Square sellers, not just online ordering. If you use Local Cash to cover a full purchase, you no longer have to pay the entire tip with Local Cash — it just caps the tip at what Local Cash you have left. Your interactions with merchants are still between you and them, not Cash App.
Plain-English explanation, not legal advice.
What changed
The 'Checkout Powered by Cash App' feature has been rebranded and expanded to 'Cash App Buyer Features,' now including loyalty and rewards programs, offers, and in-person point-of-sale support at Square Sellers.
Details
- •The feature previously called 'Checkout powered by Cash App' is now called 'Cash App Buyer Features,' with the scope expanded to include loyalty and rewards programs, access to offers and benefits, and use at Square Seller point-of-sale devices in addition to online ordering profiles.
- •The limitations section and dispute resolution language were updated to reflect the new 'Buyer Features' terminology, and references to use being limited to cash.app websites and mobile apps were removed, broadening the applicable contexts.
- •A clarification was added in the Order-related Disputes section: merchants who offer loyalty programs are now also explicitly named as responsible for order management, refunds, and disputes.
- •The rule about tips when Local Cash covers the full pre-tip transaction amount was changed: previously, the tip had to be paid entirely with Local Cash; now, the tip amount may simply be limited by however much Local Cash is available.
- •A minor formatting fix was made to 'Local Cash offers' text (extra space removed), with no change in meaning.
