# Collecting Data

> Learn how to enable the Collecting Data module to collect additional information during checkout.

## **Introduction**

The **Collecting Data** module allows you to collect additional information from customers during the checkout process. You can enable this module to **collect data** such as the **email address**, **full name**, and **billing address** of the buyer. This information is useful to prevent chargeback and **authorize clients**.

That's how it looks during the **checkout process**:
