Want to collect tips and donations through your social media bio?
I'll show you exactly how to add Cash App to your Linktree in minutes, so your followers can start sending you money with just a few taps.
Why Add Cash App to Your Linktree?
Let's start with the most pressing question - can you actually put your Cash App on Linktree?
Yes, you can add Cash App to Linktree by adding your Cash App link manually, since there's no native button that exists specifically for Cash App.
Here's how to do it quickly:
Get your Cash App Cashtag link
Log into your Linktree account
Add a new link, paste your Cash App URL, and give it a clear title
Save and test to make sure it works
That's the quick version, but I'll walk you through each step in detail below, plus share some tips to get more donations.
Why Use Cash App with Linktree?
Before jumping into the how-to, let's talk about why Cash App makes so much sense on your Linktree.
Cash App is one of the most popular payment apps around, with over 44 million users.
This means a huge portion of your audience likely already has the app installed and knows how to use it, making it super simple for them to send you money.
Depending on who you are, adding Cash App to your Linktree serves different purposes:
For content creators and influencers, it's perfect for those "buy me a coffee" style tips from fans who enjoy your content and want to show appreciation.
For small businesses, it's a quick way for customers to pay for services or products without a complex checkout process.
For nonprofits and causes, it allows for micro-donations during campaigns without needing a full donation platform setup.
But what makes Cash App stand out from other payment options?
The money hits your account instantly, and younger audiences (especially in the US) often prefer Cash App for peer-to-peer payments.
One thing many people miss: Linktree lets you add multiple payment links, so you can have Cash App alongside other support options like Patreon or PayPal.
This gives your audience choices based on their preferences, which can boost your overall income.
How to Add Cash App to Linktree (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 – Get Your Cash App $Cashtag Link
First, we need to grab your unique Cash App payment link:
Open Cash App on your phone
Tap your profile icon in the top right to view your account details
Look for your $Cashtag (this is your unique Cash App ID that also forms a payment URL)
Tap "Share" or "Copy Link" to get your Cash App payment link
Your link will look something like cash.app/$YourUsername – this is the URL anyone can use to pay you.
If you're on desktop or don't have your phone handy, you can manually create your link by adding your $Cashtag to cash.app/.
For example, if your Cashtag is $DigitalCreator, your link would be cash.app/$DigitalCreator.
Double-check your Cashtag spelling to make sure funds will actually reach you!
Step 2 – Log in to Linktree & Add a New Link
Now let's add this to your Linktree:
Sign into your Linktree admin (either through the website or the Linktree app)
On your dashboard, click the "Add New Link" button
A new blank link field will appear
In the "URL" or "Address" field, paste your complete Cash App link (https://cash.app/$YourCashtag)
In the "Title" field, add a descriptive name like "💵 Tip Me on Cash App" or "Donate via Cash App"
Adding the dollar emoji (💵) or the Cash App logo (🟩) can help your link stand out visually.
Quick troubleshooting: If Linktree flags your link as "unsafe," make sure you included the https:// prefix and that your Cashtag is spelled correctly.
Step 3 – Customize Your Cash App Link (Optional)
Make your Cash App link pop with some custom touches:
If you have Linktree Pro, you can upload a custom thumbnail or choose an icon for the link. Adding the Cash App logo makes your link instantly recognizable to your visitors.
Even with the free Linktree plan, you can:
Use emojis in the title as mentioned above
Move the Cash App link to the top of your Linktree if it's a priority (just drag to reorder)
Choose a contrasting color in your Linktree appearance settings to make the button stand out
Step 4 – Test Your Cash App Link
This step is crucial! Always verify your link works:
Visit your published Linktree page
Click your new Cash App link
It should either open the Cash App mobile app or the Cash App website, showing a payment screen to your $Cashtag
Make sure it displays your correct account name so donors aren't confused

Tips to Maximize Your Cash App Donations
Now that your Cash App link is live on your Linktree, here's how to get the most out of it:
Make it obvious
Place your Cash App link at or near the top of your Linktree list so it's immediately visible. Label it with a clear call-to-action like "Send a Tip" rather than just "Cash App" to tell visitors exactly what to do.
Promote it
Mention your Cash App link in your content. A simple "Check my Linktree to send a tip!" in your video descriptions, captions, or during livestreams reminds fans that support is welcome.
Offer options
Not everyone uses Cash App.
Consider adding other payment methods like PayPal, Venmo, or Patreon to your Linktree as well.
Linktree's process for adding those is similar – or even easier for some that have built-in integrations.
Track what works
Linktree includes click analytics – keep an eye on how many clicks your Cash App link gets.
This shows how well you're promoting it and whether the placement or text needs tweaking.
Watch your privacy
If you want to keep your real name private, make sure your Cash App display name is set to your brand or stage name, since people sending you money will see the name associated with your $Cashtag.
FAQs and Troubleshooting
Does Linktree have a built-in Cash App button?
Not yet. Linktree supports payments via its Commerce Links feature (which includes Square and PayPal) but does not have a built-in Cash App integration.
The workaround is to use your Cash App $Cashtag link as we've shown in this guide.
Is it free to add Cash App to Linktree?
Yes – adding a normal link to Linktree is free.
Neither Linktree nor Cash App charge you for simply linking them together.
Cash App may have fees for certain transactions, but receiving personal payments or donations is typically free.
My Cash App link isn't working on Linktree – what can I do?
Common issues include not using the correct format. Make sure your URL is exactly https://cash.app/$YourCashtag (include the "https://"). If Linktree says "Enter a valid URL" or "Unsafe URL," double-check the spelling and remove any spaces.
Also, ensure your Cash App account is active. If problems continue, try using the Linktree mobile app or a different browser – sometimes it's just a cache or cookie issue.
Will people see my real name or personal info on Cash App?
When someone clicks your Cash App link, they'll see your $Cashtag and Cash App profile (usually your chosen display name and possibly a profile picture, if you set one).
They won't see highly sensitive info, but if you used your real name as your Cash App name, that will be visible.
If privacy is important to you, set your Cash App display name to your brand or first name only.
Transactions on Cash App are typically private by default (only you and the payer can see them).
Cash App isn't available in my country – what should I use instead?
Unfortunately, Cash App is only officially available in the US and UK.
If your audience is global or you're outside these regions, you might want to use alternatives like PayPal (which is widely international) or Wise.
Linktree's built-in PayPal integration might be a better option for creators with international audiences.
