billing address

[Ms_X]

Hi, I wanted to ask if billing address on the page index.php?main_page=checkout_payment is really needed and what is it made for?should it be same as shipping address or not?If not then why do we need to know it?

Many people have a different billing address where their credit card is registered too. Say they want to ship something to a friend/relative or another home they have, there will be a different shipping address.

Yes, I understand that,so why do we need billing address then?Is it more secure then?

The card billing address is used for credit card verification.
So yes, you need it.

I'm using PayPal as the only payment option so I don't need the billing address step. Can it be taken out? Thanks!
