• Your registered billing address
• Your delivery address (this might be different to your billing address)
• The long number on the back of the card
• The 4-digit expiry date
• The CSV number (the 3-digit code on the back on the signature strip)

You only need these details to pay online. You should never give your PIN and should not give your account number and sort code unless setting up a direct debit.
