Acceptable Use and AML/CFT policies are published; which paid-plan methods open for an account is settled in partner review.

Ask any provider the same four questions. Answers that are not in writing are not answers.

What is a third-party Cash App provider?

It is an orchestration layer between your business and the payment rails. Rather than you holding a Square merchant account or a Cash App for Business $cashtag, the provider connects to approved channel partners that can settle Cash App, and gives you the tools on top: hosted checkout pages, payment links, QR codes, an API, status webhooks, and reporting.

Why businesses use one

  1. Category eligibility Core reasonSquare and Cash App exclude certain digital categories.
  2. Multi-rail acceptanceMore than one payment rail behind the same checkout.
  3. AutomationAn API and webhooks, so orders update without manual matching.
  4. Campaign attributionEvery link can carry where the sale came from.

Vet any provider in four questions

Ask these of any third-party Cash App provider, PD CASH included. Tick each one they have answered in writing.

Until all four are in writing, keep asking. A provider that will not answer one of these is telling you something.

All four answered in writing. That is the minimum for a trial: start with a hosted link, confirm the money lands where they said it would, then add the API.

Where PD CASH fits

PD CASH is a payment-link and checkout orchestration layer for digital merchants. It routes Cash App through approved channel partners, offers hosted checkout and QR, exposes an API with status webhooks, and lets eligible businesses bring their own provider keys.

PD CASH does not hold or withhold merchant balances. Settlement happens through the underlying provider or partner, subject to underwriting. PD CASH also publishes its Acceptable Use and AML/CFT policies.

  1. Customer

    Pays on your hosted checkout or payment link: Cash App via Lightning and crypto on the Free plan; Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal after review.

  2. PD CASH

    Orchestrates: routes the payment to an approved partner, verifies the paid status and fires the signed webhook to your server.

    Never holds your balance
  3. Channel partner

    Settles the payment under its own underwriting and holds any paid-plan security deposit. Which methods open is decided in its review.

  4. You

    USDT (TRC-20) payout on a 24-hour cycle, $100 minimum, no PD CASH withdrawal fee. Network costs may apply. Fees

Ask any provider to draw this picture. If their box is the one holding your balance, you are trusting their solvency, not a partner's underwriting.

Frequently asked questions

It is a platform that lets a business accept Cash App without integrating Cash App or Square directly. It provides hosted checkout, payment links, QR, and an API, and routes Cash App acceptance through approved channel-partner connections.

Square and Cash App restrict certain digital categories, so those businesses cannot accept Cash App directly. A third-party provider routes acceptance through approved partners and adds automation through an API. Wallet rails such as Apple Pay and Google Pay can be requested through the dedicated business-route application. Availability depends on the selected route, regions, documents and provider approval.

Reputable ones are. The distinction is custody and transparency: a legitimate provider acts as a routing and orchestration layer, does not take custody of your balance, settles through the underlying provider or partner, and publishes clear acceptable-use and compliance policies.

A well-designed orchestration provider does not. Settlement happens through the underlying payment provider or approved channel partner. Always confirm the custody model before onboarding.

Some plans require a refundable security deposit held against chargeback and risk exposure for higher-risk categories. A transparent provider tells you the amount, where it is held, and the refund conditions before you commit.

Yes. Many orchestration platforms let you bring your own supported provider credentials and use the orchestrator only for routing, observability, webhooks, and payment management.

Check the registered company behind it, read the acceptable-use and AML/CFT policies, confirm the custody model, ask how payouts and deposits work, and test the hosted checkout and webhooks before scaling volume.
