Guide for Online Payment Using Paypal

Having a Purchase Order means that you already checked out items you wish to pay (conference registration fee). This does not mean you already paid for it. You have to click on the Paypal button (Click here to pay in Figure 1a) found at the upper left hand corner of the Purchase Order to proceed with online payment at the Paypal website to finalize your registration. Otherwise, your online registration transaction will be treated as temporary and you may lose your slot.

After clicking on the button, you will be prompted to enroll a Paypal account by entering your credit card details to safely pay online. This is much more secure than entering your credit card details directly on to the website other than Paypal. (Note: Make sure you have a credit card such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express to be able to create a PayPal account)

PayPal Sandbox User Guide

The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained environment within which you can prototype and test PayPal features and APIs. The PayPal Sandbox is an almost identical copy of the live PayPal website. Its purpose is to give developers a shielded environment for testing and integration purposes and to help avoid problems that might occur while testing PayPal integration solutions on the live site. Before moving any PayPal-based application into production, you should test the application in the Sandbox to ensure that it functions as you intend and within the guidelines and standards set forth by the PayPal Developer Network (PDN).

Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide

Welcome to Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. This document first began as an effort to help teams within Google, but we thought it’d be just as useful to webmasters that are new to the topic of search engine optimization and wish to improve their sites’ interaction with both users and search engines. Although this guide won’t tell you any secrets that’ll automatically rank your site first for queries in Google (sorry!), following the best practices outlined below will make it easier for search engines to both crawl and index your content.

Search engine optimization is often about making small modifications to parts of your website. When viewed individually, these changes might seem like incremental improvements, but when combined with other optimizations, they could have a noticeable impact on your site’s user experience and performance in organic search results. You’re likely already familiar with many of the topics in this guide, because they’re essential ingredients for any webpage, but you may not be making the most out of them.
