Cash App crypto wallet uses the lightning network, so you need the recipient’s Bitcoin address on the lightning network of a supporting wallet. (You can think of it like a bank account number).

However, suppose a wrong external wallet address is put in. In that case, it will go to that particular wrong address, and it will be impossible to retrieve the payment as it is irreversible, so be careful when you put the addresses.

Always check addresses. If needed, double-check or triple-check them before confirming the payment.
