# Adds support for collecting business and individual names in Checkout Sessions ## What’s new Adds the [name_collection](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#checkout_session_object-name_collection) parameter to [Checkout Sessions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover). With this parameter, you can collect [business names](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#checkout_session_object-name_collection-business) and [full individual names](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#checkout_session_object-name_collection-individual) as optional or required fields during checkout. ## Impact You can now collect business and individual names from customers during a [Checkout Session](https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover). You can specify whether you want to collect a customer’s full name, business name, or both. You can also mark the name fields as optional or required. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | | ---------------------------------- | ------ |
