How to Use Afterpay on Cash App

Ever made a purchase on your Cash App Card and wished you could split it into smaller payments? Good news—you can now do exactly that with Cash App's built-in Afterpay feature. No credit checks, no hidden fees, just simple installment payments right from your app.

Let me walk you through exactly how to use this game-changing feature.

What Exactly is Cash App Afterpay?

Think of Afterpay on Cash App as your financial safety net. It lets you take any eligible purchase you've made with your Cash App Card and break it into four easy payments spread over six weeks. The best part? Zero interest and zero credit checks.

Here's the catch: your purchases need to be between $25 and $50 to qualify. You'll start with a $50 spending limit that can grow over time as you use the feature responsibly.

Finding Afterpay in Your Cash App (Takes 30 Seconds)

Ready to get started? Here's where to find it:

Step 1: Open Cash App and tap the leftmost icon at the bottom (it shows your balance or a bank icon)

Step 2: Scroll down until you see the "More For You" section

Step 3: Look for Afterpay with the arrows logo—tap it

Step 4: Hit "Start" and you'll see your available spending limit right on the screen

That's it! You're now looking at your Afterpay dashboard.

Does Your Purchase Qualify? (Check These 4 Rules)

Not every purchase can be converted to Afterpay. Before you get excited, make sure your transaction meets these requirements:

✅ Used your Cash App Card (physical card or digital wallet version)
✅ Amount between $25-$50 (this range may increase as your limit grows)
✅ Made within the last 30 days (don't wait too long!)
✅ Fully processed (usually takes 1-2 days after purchase)

Missing even one of these? Your purchase won't show up as eligible.

Why You're Seeing "No Eligible Transactions"

If you tap into Afterpay and see this message, don't panic. It simply means none of your recent Cash App Card purchases meet all four criteria above. Maybe your last purchase was only $20, or perhaps you haven't used your Cash App Card in a while.

The fix? Make a qualifying purchase with your Cash App Card, wait a day or two for it to process, then check back.

How Your Spending Limit Works

When you first open Afterpay, you'll see an amount like $50 displayed. This is your current spending limit—Cash App assigns it automatically based on your account activity. You didn't pick it, and you can't manually change it.

But here's the good news: this limit can increase over time. How? By using your Cash App regularly, making on-time Afterpay payments, and keeping your account active. Think of it like building credit, except without the actual credit checks.

Converting a Purchase to Afterpay

Found an eligible transaction? Here's how to split it:

Open the Afterpay section in your app
Tap "Switch to Afterpay"
Select the purchase you want to convert
Review the payment breakdown (4 payments over 6 weeks)
Confirm and you're done

Cash App will automatically deduct payments from your balance every two weeks. Just make sure you have enough funds on those dates.

One Thing You Must Have: A Cash App Card

Here's the deal—you cannot use Afterpay without a Cash App Card. Period. The feature only tracks purchases made with this specific card.

Don't have one yet? No worries—ordering is free and takes about 5 minutes in your app. You can even add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet immediately and start using it before the physical card arrives.

The physical card typically shows up in 7-10 days, but your digital version works right away.

Why People Love This Feature

Let's be real—here's what makes Cash App Afterpay worth using:

Zero Interest: You pay exactly what you bought, nothing more. Unlike credit cards that pile on interest, Afterpay keeps it simple.

No Credit Impact: Your credit score stays untouched because there's no credit check. Perfect if you're building credit or prefer to keep inquiries off your report.

All in One Place: Everything happens inside Cash App. No juggling multiple apps or websites to track payments.

Budget-Friendly: Turn a $48 purchase into four $12 payments. Much easier on your wallet, especially when you're between paychecks.
