  2. Under the Pending Review tab at the top of the screen, you'll see any requests you've placed that others haven't completed.
  3. You may also see pending payments with a green "accept" button next to it.
  4. These are payments from users who have not contacted you before. To accept and receive the money they have sent, simply click on Accept.
  5. Once you click Accept, a popup on your screen will ask you to confirm that you want to receive payments from this person.
  6. Click Confirm at the bottom of the screen, then click Done.

If that person sends you money again in the future, you don't need to confirm the payment or take any action - it will be automatically deposited into your Cash App account.
