Haven't looked into cashapp. However, assuming you're actually doing the transaction on-chain instead of through some app wrapper, the order of operations is:
- Move cash from your bank account to an exchange (I use Coinbase, Kraken and Binance are the other mostly reputable ones)
- Wait ~3 days for the bank to settle the transaction. You may be able to buy the crypto before then, but you won't be able to move it off the exchange
- If they want you to pay them in crypto, they should provide a crypto wallet address (which will just be a long 'random' string of numbers and letters that represent a unique ID, also called a "hash"). Each chain (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc) has unique types of addresses that won't work on other chains, so don't try to send Ether to a Bitcoin address
- In the exchange app, there should be a "Send" function where you can enter this address. I recommend copy-pasting it.
- Once you send it, you should see a 'receipt' with a transaction ID that will link you to a website that will show you the block your transaction was included in as proof that you sent it. It can take anywhere from seconds to 20+ minutes, depending on the blockchain.
Things to keep in mind:
- Each chain requires a small amount of its native token, called "gas", to do a transaction. So for example, if you want to send $50, you should have like $55 on the exchange.
- You cannot "unsend" or reverse a transaction. Once you click send it truly is sent. So double-check that you've entered the right crypto wallet address (which is why I recommend copy-pasting it).
Also, whichever exchange or app you use will likely have official documentation and how-tos with screenshots for this.
