Yup, that toggle should be ok.

Do we have to resort to manual name input for direct transactions or can we also improve that somehow?

from grouptabs.

Good point. This would be the perfect use-case for the combo box (drop down with edit feature) we just removed from the shared transaction as it sucks on mobile.

Maybe two native drop downs (<select>)? And then we need an additional widget to enter a new name and if it should go to from or to to.

The »New participant« part is superfluous in the direct transaction flow as
you can freely type into the dropdown elements, right?

I was thinking of native <select> elements without a text field as these seem to be nice on the respective mobile platform. A typeable dropdown is kind of a hassle I think. I'm open to finding a way to create an optimized combo box, though.

How about using a native <select> element but adding "" as the last option? When selected, a new input field is added below. Not really beautiful, but could work.

Another idea to work around the "select + new" problem and also keep more to the design of the shared transaction:

Only one "from" button and one "to" button can be selected at a time (behavior like radio groups). Selecting "from" changes the "to" button to an input field for the amount.

Change label "From" to "paid" and "To" to "got" so we stay with the current wording.

@xMartin just checking out the prototype :) What is very confusing at the moment is that whenever you switch between »Direct« and »Shared«, the whole app reloads. (Just makes testing very irritating. ;)

Seems to be happening in Firefox but not Chrome. Will check.
