Validate name and address with the card number

I'm using Paypal Pro API to process my purchase. It works well with card number, expire date and security code but I need to validate the address and the owner name of the card as well.

Is there any parameters or functions in the API to do this? I didn't found anything in the docs. Or maybe it is an additional option in the Paypal developer control panel?

Assuming that we're talking about the Payflow Gateway API (for PayPal Payments Pro and other things), it appears you can do address verification--see the section entitled Using Address Verification Service. Notice the note there that says it doesn't check street names, in case that's a deal-breaker for you.

As for name validation, I can't find anything about that other than that it's typically passed in the sale transaction itself (section: Typical Sale Transaction Parameter String). Whether it's then validated by the banks as part of their end of the transaction, I couldn't say.

Hope that gets you a bit further. I haven't worked with any of this stuff myself.
