Hi Karenleoncio12,
Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.
We understand you are wondering why a payment you've sent with Apple Cash is showing as pending. Does the transaction show as Pending on your side, on their side, or both?
If its showing Pending on your side, this typically means that the recipient isn't fully set up for Apple Cash or needs to accept the payment. If it is their first time receiving money through Apple Pay, they may need to accept terms and conditions for Apple Cash or may need to complete identity verification. The article below provides steps and visuals for what this would look like on their side.

It is also important to make sure that both devices are caught up on software updates. Further steps to check on both accounts and device settings can be found at the resource below.
