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.
Some people seem to just look for trouble. It is a club, not dealing in millions of dollars.
Concerned about credit card fees? Pay cash and get a receipt.

As far as credit cards, gone are the days of a cash business. A friend had a small retail store. It came up in gossip about a cash business. His reply was no one pays cash anymore. Good for the credit card companies and of course the taxman.
