Keeping slabs of fresh cut wood from splitting

Do you pay kids in cash?

How do you pay them? Cash? Cashapp? Venmo? 1) Do cashapp or venmo require the payer to have a cashapp (or venmo) account? Or can one just use its webpage without having an account. (I'm sure it's the latter but googling kept giving answers to the wrong question.)
