Is it possible to receive money via Apple Cash without the sender seeing my real name?

Apple Cash Help

I know this is not a directly an Apple Card question but was hoping someone here could help me out with this scenario since it's still Apple Cash related.

I am an adult content creator and have an iPhone and Apple ID w/ my stage name that I use purely for this purpose to keep my personal life separate (and prevent accidentally exposing myself to my personal contacts etc).

I recently received an offer from someone who wants me to create content for them on an almost daily basis (cam shows, custom vids/pics, etc.) for $5,000 / week.

I pretty regularly get transactions for $500-$1,000 and run those through my credit card processor or PayPal and accept the risk of a chargeback because it's an amount that I can afford to lose.

$5k a week is not an acceptable loss to me and therefore a credit card payment or PayPal would be way too high risk.

I asked the customer if they'd be willing to pay via crypto. They said they would like to use Apple Cash, Cashapp, or Zelle.

I have Apple Cash setup on my personal iPhone and Apple ID to get the cash back rewards from my Apple Card. I've never sent or received money with Apple Cash though.

I started setting up Apple Cash on my business iPhone/Apple ID and it asked me to verify my identity.

I don't mind providing my information but will this information remain private?

Will someone sending me money via Apple Cash be able to see my real name or will they only see my Apple ID and phone number?

Will they be able to reverse the transaction? If so how easily?

Thank you for your help.
