Taking Billing Address on site when using Paypal?

Hi,

I have a website and i'm in the process of streamlining my checkout process.

My site takes payments via paypal which is intergrated in to my shopping cart. My site asks for billing address as well as delivery address, and when they checkout it goes to an external paypal page where customers can pay via card (or paypal account)


I was wondering. DO I really need to take any billing address info on my site if paypal will take them anyway?

    paypal does take the billing address from their account, using the paypal get-transaction API here

    you would have your landing page after the paypal transaction call the data then you can insert the data into a database etc
