Can you PayPal to Cash App?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

Unfortunately, as of now, there is no direct way to transfer money from PayPal to Cash App. The two platforms operate independently, and there is no built-in feature to connect them. However, there are alternative methods you can use to move funds between the two.

One option is to link your PayPal Cash Card to your Cash App. The PayPal Cash Card functions like a debit card and can be used for purchases and ATM withdrawals. By linking your PayPal Cash Card to your Cash App, you can add funds to your Cash App balance using your PayPal account. This allows you to indirectly transfer money from PayPal to Cash App.

To link your PayPal Cash Card to Cash App, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your Cash App and tap on the “Banking” tab located at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select “Add Cash” and choose the amount you want to add.
3. On the next screen, you will see different options to add funds. Look for the option to add funds with your PayPal Cash Card.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your PayPal Cash Card and complete the transaction.

Once you have added funds to your Cash App using your PayPal Cash Card, you can use that balance for various transactions within the Cash App ecosystem. However, do note that this method involves using the PayPal Cash Card as an intermediary and not directly transferring funds between PayPal and Cash App.

Another option is to link your PayPal and Cash App accounts to a common bank account. This allows you to transfer money from PayPal to your bank account and then from your bank account to Cash App. While this method involves an extra step, it can still be an effective way to move funds between the two platforms.

To link your PayPal and Cash App accounts to your bank account, you can follow these general steps:

1. Log in to your PayPal account and navigate to the “Wallet” section.
2. Click on “Link a bank account” and follow the prompts to add your bank account details.
3. Once your bank account is linked, you can transfer funds from PayPal to your bank account by selecting the “Transfer to bank” option.
4. After the funds are in your bank account, you can open your Cash App and tap on the “Banking” tab.
5. Select “Add Cash” and choose the amount you want to add.
6. On the next screen, choose the option to add funds from your linked bank account and follow the instructions to complete the transaction.

While this method requires an additional step and may take longer, it allows you to indirectly transfer money from PayPal to Cash App.

While there is no direct way to transfer money between PayPal and Cash App, you can use alternative methods such as linking your PayPal Cash Card to Cash App or linking both platforms to a common bank account. These methods provide a workaround to move funds between the two platforms, albeit indirectly.
