By joining forces, this partnership will allow avid Cash App and Android users to seamlessly pay and get access to millions of apps, games, music, movies, books, and more

Today, Cash App announces its integration with Google Play, giving consumers a preferred alternative payment option when checking out on their Android smartphones or tablets. This partnership represents an opportunity to engage with a broad range of consumers, particularly in the gaming space.

“We're continuously expanding payment options on Google Play, and adding Cash App Pay is a significant step in giving users more choice and convenience while meeting their evolving payment preferences,” said Pete Albers, Director, Google Play Retail & Payments Activation.

With approximately $3 trillion1 in annual consumer spending being funneled outside of the traditional financial system, younger shoppers are looking to alternative payment solutions like Cash App Pay when shopping.

This partnership not only empowers them to pay flexibly for the things they want, but it also marries two strong customer sets and maximizes their mobile utility,” said Tanuj Parikh, Head of Partnerships, Cash App and Afterpay at Block.

Cash App Pay currently has 4 million monthly actives, adding 1 million monthly actives each of the last four quarters2. When checking out on Google Play, Android users can select Cash App Pay as their preferred payment method. Download Cash App to get access to all available merchants.
