Event Organizers, here’s How to Backup your Gmail Account to your Computer

Sell Tickets on your Event Website using Square Payment Gateway
Less than 5 percent of the people have PayPal account, while more than 95 percent have credit cards. If your event website permits only PayPal, it will mean that most attendees will be unable to pay. In such a case the creation of your event website was pointless. Therefore, a credit card processor is necessary to facilitate all payments and not just PayPal.
Square payment gateway charges lower transaction fee (2.75% on card swipe), is very user-friendly, and has option to transfer money to your bank account instantly. Also, since we already have an integration built for Square, just like we have integration for Stripe, PayPal, Cybersource and other payment gateways, it takes only a few minutes to set up your payments form.

Event CRM: Merge Duplicate Contacts & Associated Information
At times, attendees register twice using different email addresses for various reasons. For example, sometimes they forgot the password and instead of requesting a new password, they would simply create a new account. Or, if a subordinate has created an account for a user, and has not notified about the same, the user would unknowingly register again to create an account. There’re many other scenarios where duplicate accounts are created with each account holding some important information about the user. So, normally, the organizer would manually copy each piece of information from one account to another and then discard one of the accounts. This, however, results in lost time. Lots of lost time.
