Migrate your CASH data
Square's mobile-first payment and financial CRM platform for freelancers and small service businesses. Popular for its simple card processing and peer-to-peer transfers, but limited as a full relationship management tool.
In its favor
Why people choose CASH
The signal that keeps CASH on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Zero setup friction — a free Cash App business account lets sole traders accept card and bank-funded payments without merchant account paperwork.
Flat 2.75% per transaction fee with no monthly subscription is competitive against traditional merchant processors for low-volume sellers.
Cash App Pay can be accepted through Square's broader merchant stack (Square Register, Terminal, POS) via QR code, extending reach beyond mobile-only use.
P2P-native UX is familiar to US consumers — customers don't need to enter card data to pay; they tap Cash App Pay in checkout.
Verified business account removes per-transaction caps (no receive limit) versus $250/day on unverified accounts.
Spend caps remain on the business account itself — $7,500/day and $17,500/month limit operational outflows.
Not a relationship CRM — customer records are tied to payment instruments, not lifecycle/profile data. Email, phone, address, notes, and tags are not first-class.
Limited reporting — no built-in funnel, deal pipeline, or activity timeline; merchants outgrow this and migrate to Square Customer Directory, Shopify, or a dedicated CRM.
3% fee for credit-card-funded payments (above the 2.75% baseline) erodes margin for higher-ticket items.
No multi-user / role-based access — the account belongs to one Cash App identity, which constrains team operations.
