How to accept Cash App payments in Google Forms?

This is a common question from people who sell tickets or take sign-ups and get paid on Cash App. For example, you might run an event and want people to pay as soon as they fill the form. Google Forms lets you type your $Cashtag in the form as text. But it cannot work out what each person owes, so people send the wrong amount and you match the payments by hand. With Neartail, you can enable Cash App payments in your Google Form. When your users submit the form, they see the total amount and scan a QR code to pay you on Cash App. Even better, you pay no commission on these payments, because the money goes straight to your Cash App.

Let's start. Create your form and follow the steps below.

Setup Cash App payments

On the page that opens, click "Enter your form name". Type your form's name, click Generate and wait about a minute.
Check the outline it suggests and click Proceed.
Once you create the form, you will land on the form's "Edit" tab.

If it asks "Do you want to collect payment on form submit?", click Yes.

If you imported a Google Form, it makes a copy of your form and it will not ask. If it says "Your form is private or protected", click Next and give access or publish your form in Google Forms and paste that link. Select your currency and click Continue. When it says "Your order form is ready", click Preview your form, then Edit form. Scroll down to Payments disabled at the end of the form and click Enable. Click Enable again in the panel that opens. Your total may be called Amount Due instead of Order Amount.

Cash App is listed only when your form is in USD. If you do not see it, close the Payments settings page and click on the gear icon in the After payment row, the last row above the Submit button. Select USD in Currency and click Save. The form will reload. If it asks "Do you want to collect payment on form submit?" again, click Yes. Otherwise click Edit in the Payments row. Change the currency before you turn on a payment option, because an option you turned on stays on in the new currency.

Payments settings page will be displayed. Click on the toggle button next to Cash App under Manual payments, enter your $Cashtag and click Save.

Configure payment amount

You can setup your form to collect a fixed amount, dynamically calculate the amount based on the answer or add custom formula to calculate the amount. In this example, we will setup the form to dynamically pick the amount for the field.

Check your products first. If the form has products you do not need, click on the product and click on the delete icon at the bottom of its card. If a product has no title, the wrong title or a price of 0, change it in the card.

Click on the Configure key fields icon, the notebook in the last After page row.

Order Amount is already selected in Get amount from and it adds up by itself, so you do not have to write a formula. Click Save.

Click on "Preview" tab

When a user clicks Submit, they will see the Total Amount. They scan the QR code to pay you on Cash App. Then they click Mark as Paid. If you have turned on more than one payment option, they will first select the payment method and click Proceed to payment. To check each payment, read How to see who has paid in Google Forms?
