N8N Tools - Cash App

Accept payments and manage transactions through Cash App Pay with extensible Square API integration

Overview

The node integrates with the Cash App API to manage subscriptions and other related resources. Specifically, the "Pause Subscription" operation allows users to pause an active subscription by providing its subscription ID. This is useful in scenarios where a customer needs to temporarily suspend their subscription without canceling it entirely, such as during a vacation or temporary financial hardship.

Practical examples:

  • A SaaS business wants to offer customers the ability to pause their monthly subscription instead of canceling.
  • An e-commerce platform managing recurring product deliveries pauses subscriptions for customers who request a temporary hold.

Properties

Name Meaning
Subscription ID The unique identifier of the subscription to pause

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing the result of the pause subscription operation under the subscription field. This typically includes details about the updated subscription status after being paused.

Example output structure:

{
  "resource": "subscription",
  "operation": "pauseSubscription",
  "success": true,
  "creditsUsed": 1,
  "creditsRemaining": 99,
  "subscription": {
    // Subscription details returned from the API after pausing
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external Cash App API service.
  • The node uses an internal helper class to interact with the Cash App API endpoints.
  • Proper configuration of the API URL and API key is necessary within the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Subscription ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • API authentication errors if the API key is incorrect or expired.
    • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Cash App API.
  • Error messages:

    • "N8N Tools API validation failed" indicates that the initial API validation check did not succeed; verify API key and endpoint.
    • "Cash App operation failed: <message>" provides specific failure reasons from the API; check the message for details.
  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the Subscription ID is correct and corresponds to an active subscription.
    • Verify API credentials and permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API service status.
