No Credit Card, how can I purchase stuff online?

I'm not sure as to whether it works just like a VISA card. I have an Amex gift card that expires at the end of this month that I wanted to use for an online order.

However, what do you use for the billing address? How about a cardholder name? This card was given to me by my company for "christmas"

Has anyone used one of these online and can shed some light on how they're used?

I've used many Visa gift cards and prepaid cards and always just use my address and name.
