@[jaiminCygnet](https://www.fsgnetworks.com/products/mpo-breakout-cable/) It looks like you’re trying to use the Checkout API to create a payment URL and pre-populate the buyer’s information, including their first and last name. However, you mentioned that while the email and mobile fields are filled automatically, the first and last name fields are not.

It’s possible that there could be an issue with how you’re formatting the pre-populated data for the buyer’s address. Double-check that the `first_name` and `last_name` fields are properly nested under `buyer_address`, like so:

perlCopy code

```auto
"pre_populated_data": {
    "buyer_address": {
        "address_line_1": "",
        "first_name": "jaimin",
        "last_name": "patel"
    },
    "buyer_email": "jaimin.patel@cygnetinfotech.com",
    "buyer_phone_number": "61870780313"
}

```

If the issue persists, you may want to consult the Checkout API documentation or reach out to the API’s support team for further assistance.
