Identify the Type of Automatic Payment

First, open Cash App and select the Activity tab. Tap the latest charge and read the transaction details. The merchant name, payment source, status, and any recurring-payment information can show what is moving the money.

Most automatic charges fall into one of these groups:

  • Cash App autopay: An automatic payment tied to an eligible Cash App feature, such as a repayment plan. Its details may include an Autopay or Manage Payments option.

  • Auto Add Cash: A transfer that reloads your Cash App balance from a linked debit card. It may happen on a schedule or when the balance falls below a level you selected.

  • Merchant subscription: A business charges your Cash App Card or stored Cash App payment method for a membership or recurring service. The merchant normally controls the subscription.

Do not rely only on the amount. Open the transaction and check where the money went and how it was funded. That tells you which cancellation method to use.

Turn Off Auto Pay in Cash App

If the payment details show an in-app Autopay setting, manage it from the feature that created the payment. For an eligible Cash App loan repayment plan, the official in-app path is:

  1. Open Cash App and select the Borrow icon on the home screen.

  2. Select the loan connected to the automatic payment.

  3. Select Autopay on the loan details screen.

  4. Select Disable Autopay and complete any confirmation shown.

For an eligible Afterpay payment shown in Cash App, select the loan or receipt, choose Manage Payments, then Manage Autopay, and select Disable Autopay if that control is available.

These steps answer how to turn off auto pay on Cash App when Cash App provides the repayment control. Disabling autopay does not erase an amount you still owe. Review the payment schedule and make future required payments another way.

If you cannot find Borrow, Autopay, or Manage Payments, return to Activity and inspect the charge again. It may be an Auto Add Cash transfer or a merchant-controlled subscription instead.

Disable Auto Add Cash

Auto Add Cash, also called Auto Reload in some Cash App information, moves money from a linked debit card into your Cash App balance. It does not pay a merchant and is separate from a subscription.

To turn it off, open the Money or balance area in Cash App. Look for Auto Add Cash, Auto Reload, or a scheduled add-cash setting. Select the active instruction, choose the option to disable or cancel it, and confirm the change. Cash App may show scheduled reloads and low-balance reloads separately, so review every active instruction.

If the setting is not visible, select your profile icon, choose Support, and follow the prompts for an automatic balance transfer or scheduled payment. Ask support to cancel the Auto Add Cash authorization. Removing the linked debit card used for the reload can also disable that reload, but first check whether the card is needed for other account functions.

Turning off Auto Add Cash will not cancel charges from merchants. If the Activity entry names a business rather than showing money added to your balance, use the merchant steps below.

Stop a Merchant Subscription

When a company bills your Cash App Card or a stored Cash App payment method, cancel the subscription through that company. Sign in to the merchant account, open its membership, billing, or payment settings, and follow the cancellation process. If no online control appears, contact the merchant through its official support channel.

You may also be able to stop a merchant from requesting future Cash App payments:

  1. Open the Activity tab.

  2. Select a completed payment from that merchant.

  3. Open the merchant or payment controls.

  4. Select the option to block the merchant, if shown, and confirm.

Blocking a merchant is not the same as canceling its subscription. It does not settle an outstanding balance or cancel the agreement with the business. Complete the merchant’s cancellation process as well. This distinction matters when searching for how to stop autopay on Cash App or how to disable auto pay on Cash App: not every recurring merchant charge can be canceled inside Cash App.

Confirm That Auto Pay Is Off

After making the change, reopen the same feature. The control should say that Autopay, Auto Add Cash, or the scheduled transfer is disabled. If it still displays an active schedule or a next payment, repeat the cancellation or use in-app support.

Then check these items:

  • Review Activity for pending transactions connected to the payment.

  • Open the relevant loan, reload instruction, or merchant record and look for an upcoming payment.

  • Read any confirmation screen, message, or email and save a copy.

  • Record when you canceled and which account or subscription was involved.

A pending payment may already be processing even though future autopay is off. Do not assume that removing a payment method cancels a subscription. Keep the cancellation confirmation until you have checked at least one later account statement.

What to Do If Payments Continue

If another charge appears, open it in Activity and compare the merchant name, date, payment source, and status with your cancellation record. A different merchant name may indicate a separate billing agreement. A balance reload may mean another Auto Add Cash instruction remains active.

For a recognized merchant charge, contact the merchant first. Provide the cancellation confirmation and transaction details, but do not share your Cash App PIN or sign-in code. Ask the merchant to confirm that recurring billing is closed.

If you do not recognize the payment, select it in the Activity feed and choose Report. Follow the prompts that match the problem. You can also select your profile icon, choose Support, and start an official in-app support conversation. Explain which setting you disabled and attach any confirmation available in the app.

Cash App representatives should not ask for your password, PIN, sign-in code, or full debit card number. Use only support reached from the app or {site}. These checks are the safest way to cancel automatic payment on Cash App when the charge continues after you turn off autopay Cash App controls.
