What’s better than cash? Cash in your bank account. In the gig economy, where everything is mobile and online, you might think it would be difficult to find a way to get your money from gigs directly into your bank account. But there are apps that make it easy.
Cash App from Square is one such app that allows you to get your earnings from gigs like DoorDash directly deposited into your bank account. Read on for details about how you can use Cash App for direct deposit with DoorDash (or any other platform).
Can You Use Cash App for DoorDash Direct Deposit
Yes, you can use the Cash App for DoorDash direct deposit. There are a few steps involved, but it’s fairly straight-forward. The Cash App is a mobile app available for both iOS and Android devices. It’s a peer-to-peer payment app that allows users to send money to one another without using a bank account.
Cash App is owned by Square, which also operates a platform for on-demand workers called Square for Retail. Workers on the Square for Retail platform use an app called Cash Drawer to process payments and track orders. You can link your Cash Drawer account with your Cash App account to get paid instantly.

Pros of Using Cash App for Direct Deposit
There are many reasons why you might want to use the Cash App for direct deposit. Here are a few of those reasons:

Cons of Using Cash App for Direct Deposit
There are a few drawbacks to using the Cash App for direct deposit, but let’s look at them in detail:
- First and foremost, you need to link your bank account to the app. You can’t just use the app to receive payments and transfer them to your bank account; you need to link your bank account as well. This will allow the app to transfer funds between your bank account and the app account.
- There are fees associated with linking a bank account and withdrawing funds as cash. The fee varies by state.
- The app isn’t very useful if you need to transfer funds to another person. For example, if you need to pay a contractor through the app, you can’t do that. You’ll need to log in to your bank account and send money from there.
Final Words
DoorDash and Cash App are both popular mobile apps used to earn money. But these services don’t always work together. For example, you can only deposit checks into the Cash App if you live in one of its supported markets. There is no direct deposit option for using the Cash App to deposit your DoorDash earnings. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use both services at the same time.
