This article is dedicated to walking you through how to manage/manipulate both shipping and billing/customer information in this packageThe following string values can be passed within the "customer_details" and "shipping_address" arrays, which are passed as the fourth and fifth parameters in sequence to the "createPaymentPage" function, as shown below:


Through out the article we will use the same concepet clarified in our How to remove/hide the billing/shipping information?  solution article.




The following parameters are required to be sent within both parameters, as shown below:


let customer = {
    name:"Mohammed ELRayes",
    email:"elrayes@paytabs.com",
    phone:"+201234567890",
    street1:"dummy street, dummy building, dummy apt",
    city:"Heliopolis",
    state:"CAI",
    country:"EG",
    zip:"52121",
    IP:"10.0.0.1"
}


let customer_details = [
    customer.name,
    customer.email,
    customer.phone,
    customer.street1,
    customer.city,
    customer.state,
    customer.country,
    customer.zip,
    customer.IP
];

let shipping_address = customer_details;


paytabs.createPaymentPage(
    paymentMethods,
    transaction_details,
    cart_details,
    customer_details,            // billing address array
    shipping_address,            // shipping address array
