Clear the Cash App Payment Pending Error

Clearing this payment pending error means fixing the reasons mentioned above. Follow these resolutions one by one.

1.   Check your internet connection.

Begin by inspecting your internet connection. If you are disconnected or offline, payment will not be sent. So, connect to a different Wi-Fi source or change your mobile data. Your device should be linked to a reliable internet connection for Cash App to function properly.

2.   Find out whether the Cash App servers are having an outage.

If the Cash App servers are down, you cannot do much to fix the situation. Usually, when you send the payment through the app, it goes through immediately. The receiver quickly sees the funds you send. But if you’ve suddenly found the pending status, it may point to a server problem.

 

The Cash App has a rich user base. Naturally, their servers can get overloaded. Sometimes, they may be shut down for maintenance. The Cash App also shuts down its servers at set intervals for security reasons. So if the servers are behind the payment pending status, you cannot do anything from your end.

 

Access the status page of the Cash App to see if any service is marked as not working.

3.   Find if there’s a security problem with your Cash App account.

The Cash App is a popular payment application. Consequently, the company is very serious about giving top-notch security. It has a set of stringent rules that ensure no person can use the app for malicious reasons.

●     Hit the ‘Verify account’ button on your Cash App profile.

●     Now, give in the requisite information.

You may also clear the Cash App cache if it is not working and showing the payment pending status. Sometimes, just clearing the app cache will make your money go to the sender.

Follow these pointers to eliminate cache and data.

 

●     Head to the ‘Settings’ of your iPhone device.
