  • About Local Cash rewards in Neighborhoods on Cash App

    Customers that place orders from businesses that participate in Neighborhoods on Cash App will earn 10% of their order subtotal in Local Cash. Rewards are calculated as: 10% x order subtotal = Local Cash earned.

    Earning rewards on the order subtotal creates a clear and consistent experience for buyers. Customers can easily understand what they’ll earn on each purchase, which encourages repeat ordering and more predictable engagement.

    Your customers can only earn Local Cash rewards:

    • From businesses they follow that participate in Neighborhoods on Cash App. 

    • By scanning your Cash App online ordering profile QR code on the POS during checkout to follow your business and join the Local Cash rewards program.

    • On eligible in-store orders, on web orders, or pickup or delivery orders placed through Cash App.

    You pay only when customers redeem Local Cash at your business, and never more than the amount of Local Cash earned at your business that month.
