Virtual Product – address details required?

PayPal’s API does require a billing address to be sent, however, you could send any bogus values you want.

When doing this, of course, the AVS will come back as a mis-match, so based on your fraud filters this could become an issue. You’ll need to make sure your account won’t decline payments where AVS doesn’t match.

That would allow you to go ahead and remove all of the billing fields from your checkout page, though. Of course, you would also need to customize our plugin to handle that as well, and include that “bogus” data in the API request.

We could help you with that part, but you’d need to order premium support for that.

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the response, if we go ahead I will purchase premium support.

One last thing, what is AVS?

AVS = Address Verification System. Credit card processors will return a 1 letter code that represents whether or not the address provided with the request (if any) matches the address on file with the card company.
