A quick note on payment apps: PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle are personal payment tools, and their terms generally expect payments between people who know each other — which is exactly what this is. Sending as Friends & Family (PayPal) and turning off Purchase protection (Venmo) helps avoid unnecessary fees and keeps things running smoothly.
