Integration type | Make sure that you have built an Advanced flow Android Drop-in integration. The minimum required version is 4.12.0. |
Setup steps | Before you begin:
|
Show Cash App Pay in your payment form
Drop-in uses the countryCode
and the amount.currency
from your /paymentMethods request to show the available payment methods to your shopper.
Specify the following in your /paymentMethods request:
- countryCode: US
- amount.currency: USD
- amount.value: The value of the payment, in minor units.
Optional configuration
You can add the following optional configuration:
Parameter name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
setShowStorePaymentField |
Set to false if you do not want to show a toggle to let the shopper choose whether to save their payment details. | true |
setStorePaymentMethod |
Set to true to save the shopper's payment details without showing a toggle. For example, use this for a page where the shopper enters their details for a subscription service that charges the shopper on a recurring basis. Set setShowStorePaymentField to false if you use this. |
false |
Make a payment
When the shopper proceeds to pay:
-
From your server, make a POST /payments request, specifying:
paymentMethod.type
: Set this to cashapp.returnUrl
: URL to where the shopper should be redirected back to after they complete the payment. Get this URL from the Component in theCashAppPayComponent.getReturnUrl(context)
.
-
In the /payments response, note the following:
- pspReference: Our unique identifier for the transaction.
resultCode
: Use this to show the payment result to your shopper.merchantReference
: Thereference
from the /payments request.
Show the payment result
Use the resultCode from the /payments/details response to show the payment result to your shopper. You will also receive the outcome of the payment asynchronously in a webhook.
For Cash App Pay payments, you can receive the following resultCode
values:
resultCode | Description | Action to take |
---|---|---|
Received | The shopper has completed the payment but the final result is not yet known. | Inform the shopper that you have received their order, and are waiting for the payment to be completed. You will receive an AUTHORISATION webhook when the status of the payment is updated. |
Authorised | The payment was successful. | Inform the shopper that the payment has been successful. If you are using manual capture, you also need to capture the payment. |
Cancelled | The shopper cancelled the payment. | Ask the shopper whether they want to continue with the order, or ask them to select a different payment method. |
Error | There was an error when the payment was being processed. For more information, check the
refusalReason
field. |
Inform the shopper that there was an error processing their payment. |
Refused | The payment was refused. For more information, check the
refusalReason
field. |
Ask the shopper to try the payment again using a different payment method. |
Recurring payments
Cash App Pay supports tokenization of the shopper's payment details for recurring transactions.
We strongly recommend that you ask explicit permission from the shopper if you intend to make future recurring payments. Being transparent about the payment schedule and the amount reduces the risk of chargebacks.
Create a token
To store a shopper's Cash App Pay details, set setShowStorePaymentField
to true when configuring Drop-in. This shows a toggle that lets the shopper choose whether to save their details. You can also store the details automatically by setting setStorePaymentMethod
to true and setShowStorePaymentField
to false in the Drop-in configuration.
If the shopper chooses to save their details when making a payment, the paymentComponentData
from Drop-in includes a paymentComponentData.storePaymentMethod
. Pass this to your server.
To create a token, include in your /payments request:
storePaymentMethod
: ThepaymentComponentState.data.storePaymentMethod
from your client app.- shopperReference: Your unique identifier for the shopper.
Get the shopper's $cashtag
We recommend making sure that your recurring payments include the shopper's $cashtag. The $cashtag makes it easier for the shopper to recognize the recurring payment as a legitimate one. This helps to avoid chargebacks.
- Make a POST /payments/details request. For instructions, see Send additional payment details.
-
From the
/payments/details
response, save the followingadditionalData
details:Parameter Description additionalData.cashapp.cashtag
The shopper's $cashtag. additionalData.recurring.shopperReference
The shopper reference you specified in the payment request. additionalData.recurring.recurringDetailReference
The token that was generated through the payment request. Note that the RECURRING_CONTRACT webhook also includes the shopper reference and the recurring detail reference, but not the $cashtag.
Make a payment with a token
When the shopper selects to pay, Drop-in calls the onSubmit
event, which contains a state.data
.
-
Pass the
state.data
to your server. -
From your server, make a /payments request, specifying:
- The parameters required for one-off or recurring tokenized payments. For instructions, see Tokenization.
paymentMethod
: Thestate.data.paymentMethod
from theonSubmit
event.
To make it easier for the shopper to recognize the recurring payment as a legitimate one, optionally include:
paymentMethod.cashtag
: the shoppers $cashtag.
-
In the /payments response, note the following:
resultCode
: Use this to show the payment result to your shopper.
