Contact: A person’s private information by which another person can use to reach the individual. For example, in the case of a company, an individual may say that he or she has a contact at that company, means the individual knows a person at that company and has a way of reaching this person.


Invoice Address: The invoice address is the billing address of the customer where the bills of the purchase have to be paid. The customer may have a different address and the billing has to be paid in a particular address. 


Shipping Address: Address is the same as the delivery address where your purchase has been actually delivered. However, shipping and invoice address may be the same or different on certain occasions. For example: If you are buying a product with a purpose of gifting them, here the invoice address can be given as ours, and the delivery address shall be the address of the person who is the recipient of the gift.


Other Address: The other address is the address where the person is available. In the case of extra incentives or gift has to be given to a person, it can be sent to another address.


Private Address: It is the same as that of other address where one can contact a particular person individually.
