Thank you John (I have been trying to find this in documentation and forum - if its already answered somewhere, my apologies)")* Hi, First, beware that not asking for the billing address might be illegal based on your location. The billing address is usually necessary to know the location of the user which can affect the sales tax and potential other taxes you might have to charge the user. So you might want to check with your local tax office first. What you can do is go in the menu Display>Custom fields. There, you can either make the fields optionnal by turning off their "required" option, or disabling them if you don't want to allow the users to enter their address.

(We don't do enough volume for sales tax - product sales is a side item! And its not necessary to get the address where I am). Appreciate your response.
