billing address

Invoice delivery destination

A billing address is the address associated with a payment method, where credit card statements or invoices are sent.

It's used to verify identity during transactions—merchants check that the billing address matches what the card issuer has on file.

The billing address must match exactly or the payment won't go through.

Distinct from a shipping address, which is where goods are delivered.
