1. 1

   Open Cash App. If you have a Cash App card connected to your Cash App account, you can easily add it to Google Pay or Apple Pay—even if you don't have the physical card. Then, you can spend your Cash App balance in stores without the card. Tap the icon that looks like a white "$" on a green background.

   • This is the best way to add your card to cardless payment, and it's more reliable than hoping the store accepts Cash card payments with Cash App Pay.
   • You can only do this if you have the Cash App card already. If you don't have it, you'll only see a prompt to get the card. You can then do this so if you forget your card, you can still use it.

   Tap the card icon. It's in the bottom row of symbols to the left of "$".^[1]
