Cash App is transforming finance, with millions of people using the app to make financial transactions every day. The stunning growth of the app shows no sign of slowing down. So, it’s no surprise that you may need a QR code to open the Cash App or a link to the open app from different marketing channels, including websites and social media.
As a consumer, you might need to send or receive money to friends or family members while chatting on social media. As a business, you want to highlight the Cash App as a modern payment option that you support for easy payments. You may have tried one of those free QR code generators to create a QR code to post on social media or you simply use the link to your Cash App profile and noticed it didn’t open the app!
The problem is, whether your Cash App profile link is behind a QR code or not, the regular link cannot open the Cash App from Facebook or other social apps. So, what do you typically get instead?
What you typically get is the Cash App website login.
First, you should know, that this is not the fault of the Cash App. What you’re seeing is a common industry problem called “the walled garden” seen when opening one app from another app. When presented with the website login, your visitor may not remember their password because the Cash App is persistently open on their smartphone and they don’t often have to type it in.
As consumers, we all experienced something like this with a variety of apps, right? In the case of Cash App, you may decide to do the transaction later or perhaps you jump over to the Cash App and try to find the contact but then give up. These little hiccups make sending and receiving money inconvenient, and even confusing at times.
But most importantly— someone is not getting their money in a timely fashion.
Okay, so what’s the solution here? Well, creating a special QR code and app deep link, of course— which gives your Cash App profile link the ability to open the Cash App from Facebook, Instagram, or another app. Let’s dive in.
Now you may be wondering, what is a deep link? Or why would I need a special QR code for my Cash App profile?
When you generate a deeplink connected to your Cash App profile using the URLgenius platform, it allows the person sending you the money to open Cash App directly to your profile— securely jumping over that website login— cool right?
The benefit of this is clear— it means a quicker and more seamless transaction for both parties. Any guesswork or jumping between apps is taken out of the equation. The sender of funds doesn’t need to rack their brain for their Cash App password, and the receiving party gets their money instantly.
Additionally, the URLgenius platform lets you create a Cash App QR and app deep link at the same time!
