Prerequisites
Before you can buy Bitcoin on Cash App, make sure you have:
- A Cash App account: Download the app and sign up. You’ll need to verify your identity in the app (usually providing your name, date of birth, etc., and possibly additional ID if prompted) to enable Bitcoin features. This is a one-time KYC (Know Your Customer) process required by regulations.
- A linked debit card or bank account: Cash App uses your Cash App balance or linked bank/debit card to fund Bitcoin purchases. Add a bank or card in the app if you haven’t already. (Credit cards cannot be used to buy crypto on Cash App.)
- A small amount of money in Cash App: You can start with as little as $1 to buy Bitcoin on Cash App, loaded or available via your bank will make the process smoother. There are no specific minimums beyond $1.
- Updated app & Bitcoin enabled: Ensure your Cash App is updated to the latest version. In some cases, you might need to explicitly enable the Bitcoin feature in Cash App and agree to their Bitcoin terms. This typically happens automatically once you verify identity and tap the Bitcoin tab.
Step-by-Step: How to Buy Bitcoin on Cash App
- Open Cash App and go to the Bitcoin section: Launch Cash App and tap the Investing tab (the icon resembling a rising curve or stock chart at the bottom). Then select Bitcoin.
- Tap “Buy BTC”: In the Bitcoin section, press the Buy button.
- Enter the amount of Bitcoin to purchase: You can enter the amount in USD (for example, $50). Put in the amount of Bitcoins you want to buy for your order and tap Next.
- Confirm the purchase details: Cash App will show you an order summary, including any small spread or fee, tap Confirm Buy. You may be prompted to enter your Cash App PIN or use Touch ID/Face ID to authorize.
- Purchase complete: After confirmation, Cash App will process the transaction. Within seconds, the Bitcoin will be added to your Cash App’s Bitcoin wallet (you can see your BTC balance in the app).
That’s it – you now own Bitcoin on Cash App! 🎉
How to Send Bitcoin from Cash App to an External Wallet
So you’ve bought some BTC on Cash App. Now you need to send it to an external wallet address – for example, our site’s Bitcoin address to pay for your order. Follow these steps to withdraw/send Bitcoin:
Important: Bitcoin transfers cannot be canceled or reversed – if you send to the wrong address, the funds will be lost forever. Never type an address manually. Always copy & paste the address or use the QR code scanner, and double-check the first 2 and last 2 characters of the address to verify it’s correct.
- Copy our Bitcoin payment address: Copy our Wallet address by clicking the copy button next to the address below, the entire wallet address will be copied to your clipboard and ready to be pasted where you want to send bitcoins from.
- Open Cash App’s Bitcoin withdrawal option: In Cash App, navigate to the Bitcoin section (same place you bought the BTC). Look for a Send or Withdraw Bitcoin button. (On some versions, you tap the Airplane (➡️) icon or Send icon in the Bitcoin tab.) Tap Send Bitcoin.
- Paste the wallet address: Cash App will ask for a destination Bitcoin address. Paste the address you copied into the address field. Cash App may also allow you to scan a QR code – if you’re on a mobile device and our site shows a QR code, you can tap a small QR scanner icon in Cash App and scan the code above to automatically import the address. This can be easier and avoids any copy/paste issues.
- Enter the amount of Bitcoin to send: Specify how much BTC you want to send. If you’re paying for a purchase, this would be the exact amount required for the order.
- Review the transfer details: Cash App will show a summary, including the destination address and the amount of Bitcoin. Ensure everything looks correct.
- Confirm and send: Now, confirm the transaction (tap Send or Confirm and enter your PIN/Touch ID if prompted). Cash App will broadcast the Bitcoin transaction.
- Wait for confirmation: Within Cash App, the withdrawal will show as pending until it’s confirmed on the blockchain. This can take from a few minutes up to an hour depending on Bitcoin network traffic. Typically, it’s around ~10-20 minutes for the first confirmation.
- Finish checkout and enjoy your discount: Once the Bitcoin transaction has enough confirmations (usually at least one confirmation is sufficient for our system), we will recognize the payment. Return to our site (or stay on the checkout page) – your order will update as paid. Congratulations, you’ve now paid with Bitcoin! You’ll automatically get 10% off your order total for using BTC.
Discount Reminder: Paying with Bitcoin via Cash App gives you an instant 10% discount on our site. 🎁 So before making your BTC payment, Use the 10% Discount Coupon code (Coupon Code: BTC10PCENT) On your cart page.

PAYPAL
Overview
PayPal is one of the most widely-used online payment platforms, and it now offers the ability to buy, hold, and send Bitcoin in select regions. Currently, PayPal’s cryptocurrency services are available to customers in the United States (and U.S. territories) and a few other regions (e.g., it launched in the UK but was temporarily paused in 2023 ; check if it’s re-enabled in your country). Assuming you are a U.S. user, you can use your existing PayPal account to buy Bitcoin quickly. PayPal acts as a custodian for the Bitcoin you buy (you see a crypto balance in your account), and they allow withdrawals to external wallets. This makes it convenient: you might already trust PayPal and have a payment method linked there. The process is straightforward and integrated in the PayPal app/website under the “Crypto” section.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Do I need to buy a whole Bitcoin to pay with it?
A: No, you definitely do not need to buy an entire Bitcoin! Bitcoin is highly divisible – you can purchase tiny fractions of a Bitcoin. In fact, one Bitcoin can be split into 100 million units (called satoshis). All the platforms above allow very small purchases. For example, on Paybis you can buy as little as $5 worth of Bitcoin , and on Cash App or Venmo even $1. So if your order costs, say, $50, you can buy exactly $50 (or slightly more to cover fees) in BTC. Don’t be intimidated by Bitcoin’s full price; you can acquire just what you need for your purchase. (In summary: no, you don’t have to buy 1 BTC; you can buy 0.01 BTC, 0.001 BTC, or any amount you require.)
Q: How long does a Bitcoin payment take to go through?
A: Bitcoin transaction times can vary, but generally it takes around 10 minutes to an hour for a payment to be confirmed on the blockchain. When you send Bitcoin to our wallet, it has to be included in a block and then we usually wait for a confirmation or two. In normal conditions, the first confirmation often arrives in ~10 minutes. However, if the Bitcoin network is very busy (congested) or if a low fee was used, it could take longer (up to an hour or more) . The apps we discussed (Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, etc.) typically use adequate fees to get your transaction confirmed within a few blocks. Our system will process your order as soon as it sees the payment confirmed. In short, expect anywhere from a few minutes to about 30 minutes on average for your Bitcoin payment to be fully confirmed. We’ll keep you posted on the checkout page during the process.
Q: What if I send Bitcoin to the wrong address by mistake?
A: Sending Bitcoin to the wrong address is a serious mistake – transactions are irreversible, and unfortunately, there is no way for us (or anyone) to retrieve coins sent to an incorrect address . That’s why we emphasize double-checking the address every time. If, for example, you typo one character of the address, the Bitcoin network will either send it to a different address (which likely has an owner who now controls those coins) or the address might be invalid (in which case the transaction won’t go through). But if it does go through to someone else’s address, those funds are effectively lost unless the owner of that address somehow contacts you (which is usually not possible since addresses are pseudonymous). The bottom line: always use copy-and-paste, and verify the first 2 and last 2 characters of the wallet address . All the platforms in our guide will show you the address you’re sending to for confirmation – take a second to confirm it. If you do make a mistake, you can try contacting the support of the platform you used immediately, but in most cases, they cannot reverse a blockchain transfer. We really don’t want that to happen, so be cautious and you’ll be fine.
Q: Why should I pay with Bitcoin instead of a credit card on your site?
A: Paying with Bitcoin offers a couple of key advantages. First, we offer an instant 10% discount for Bitcoin payments – that’s a significant savings on your purchase that you wouldn’t get with a card or PayPal. This discount is our way of passing along the lower processing costs: Bitcoin transactions avoid the credit card fees and restrictions, so we can afford to give you a better deal. Second, Bitcoin can be more secure and private – there’s no need to enter sensitive card details on our site, and you won’t have to worry about bank declines or holds (this can be especially useful if you’re purchasing items that sometimes trigger card issuer concerns). Finally, some customers simply prefer crypto for the experience and the decentralization aspect – you’re in control of the payment from your end. In short: the 10% savings is the biggest reason, essentially giving you a sale price automatically. Plus, if you already hold some Bitcoin, it’s a convenient way to spend it. We encourage it because it’s win-win: you save money and we receive a form of payment that’s efficient for us.
Q: Is it safe to use these platforms to buy Bitcoin?
A: Yes, all the platforms we outlined (Cash App, MoonPay, Venmo, PayPal, Strike, Paybis, Coinmama, Bitcoin Well) are reputable and have security measures in place. They are used by millions of people. That said, “safe” also depends on you following best practices. Make sure you enable two-factor authentication on your accounts when possible, use strong passwords, and only download official apps. When buying Bitcoin, the biggest safety factor is your vigilance in copying addresses correctly and keeping your account credentials secure. Also, after buying, if any Bitcoin is held in a platform’s internal wallet (like Venmo or PayPal before you send it out), know that those are custodial accounts – they’re safe generally, but you don’t control the private keys. We mitigated that by immediately moving BTC to your own (our) wallet in the purchase flows. All these services comply with regulations and have robust security teams, so the process of purchasing is secure. If you ever have doubts, you can start with a very small test purchase (like $10 of BTC) to get comfortable. Overall, these platforms are safe to use, and by using the guidelines and steps we’ve provided, you’re adding extra layers of safety to your transactions.
By now, you should feel empowered to buy Bitcoin using any of these platforms and enjoy a smooth checkout with your 10% discount. Paying with Bitcoin is not only rewarding but also straightforward once you’ve done it the first time. If you have any more questions or need help during the process, our customer support is here to assist. Happy Bitcoin buying, and thank you for choosing to pay with crypto!
