After you have found a near location, then you are able to use the options to get directions or you are able to copy the address into a navigation app.
When you are at the store, then you need to tell the cashier that you want to load funds to your Cash App by using your barcode. Let’s say that you find them not sure about how to help. If so, you are able to show them the instructions by tapping the “?” on your map.
If the cashier has scanned the barcode in your Cash App, then you have to hand them the money that you want to deposit. It is important for you to note that the funds will be added to your Cash App balance automatically. You need to keep a copy of your receipt from the cashier.
You also need to know that some merchants may ask you to swipe your Cash Card to do the Paper Money deposit. With Cash App, the barcode needs to be scanned to start the deposit transaction.

Another thing that you should note is that certain merchants and retailers may ask for your ID as an additional verification step when you deposit cash. If so and because your Paper Cash deposit is being made at a store, you will have to follow any policies that the place has.
