§5 Get Order Detail

Get Order Detail

Currently, when buyers place an order, they provide a first_name and last_name that are returned in the recipient_address response for Get Order Detail. The two parameters are additionally concatenated to return the name field:

`first_name`	`last_name`	`name`
John	Doe	John Doe

For the BR and MX markets, buyers will now only need to provide a single name, and the API logic will synchronize this into the first_name field as well, leaving the last_name field empty:

`first_name`	`last_name`	`name`
John Doe		John Doe

We are hoping this will remove some confusion around the difference(s) between these three fields.

§6 Next steps

Next steps

Since this is only a logic change, please ensure your logic is still compatible. There are no new or deprecated parameters that need to be supported.
