Enter address details but not credit card

Hi Guys, I have an old ecart 3 site and am wondering is it possible to force a user to enter their address on the site before they go to paypal. At the moment paypal express is selected.

I need to control what countires the user can buy from hence, taking their address on the website. Thaks a million.

If you just need to control the country, you only need a form with a country select list on it. store the selected country in a session variable, then use an if statement to redirect your site pages to another page if the country session is not one of the allowed countries, for example:

php:

<?php

@session_start();

$allowedCountriesArr = array();

$allowedCountriesArr[] = "US";

$allowedCountriesArr[] = "UK";

if(!isset($_SESSION['alowedCountries']) ||  !in_array($_SESSION['alowedCountries'],$allowedCountriesArr)) {

    header("Location: index.php");

}

?>
