e-Commerce Site using PHP/PDO, PHPMailer, ReCaptcha, and PayPal with Source Code

This is an e-Commerce Site Project with Secure Registration and Online Payment. This project was developed using PHP, PDO, MySQL Database, HTML, CSS, and other plugins. This e-Commerce Site Project has an admin panel where you can manage the Categories, Users, Products, and View the Sales. Talking about the Secure Registration, the user registration form has a reCaptcha Checkbox feature. Aside from reCaptcha, the user must register a valid email because the system will mail to the given email a verification link to verify the user's email for security purposes. As I have said about the admin panel, the Admin user must populate first the products and categories list so that the users can explore and create their transactions. For Online Payment, this system is using Paypal for checkout.
