Hi there,

When using the Square CreateCheckoutLink API, there is a option to pre-populate the Buyer’s Address.

Checkout Link → Pre-populate → Buyers Address → “first\_name” and “last\_name”

When the first\_name and last\_name fields are passed into the CreateCheckoutLink API, the resulting checkout page does not pre-populate these two fields … ? The rest of the buyer’s address is populated, and the ‘phone’ and ‘email’ fields work too. It is just the buyer’s name that does not pre-populate.

How can I pre-populate the buyer’s name?
