I think a club (such as a Villages' club) can register for a personal account and not as a business. Is that true?

The fee structure is unclear to me.
I think that the following is the case:
1. If you use PayPal (or other form of digital payment collections) and the payee uses his checking account or PayPal debit, then there is no fee for either party.
2. if you go from member credit card to club's bank account then the credit card user is charged a fee.

is that correct?

Have you been happy using digital payments like PayPal?
If not, why?

thank you so much for answering.
No, thats not correct. Paypal charges a fee. Best to use is Zelle. Its an electronic transfer from one acct to another, no fee and acct numbers arent exchanged. Your acct is attached to your email address. So you go into your acct on line, sign up for Zelle and to send money you just use the receivers email address to get it directed to your acct. you can also put it on auto pay if its a reoccurring bill. I use it and its very convenient
