# Adds support for business and individual names on Customers ## What’s new Adds [business_name](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#customer_object-business_name) and [individual_name](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#customer_object-individual_name) fields to [Customers](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover). ## Impact You can now save customers’ business and individual names. When you create a Customer without specifying the [name](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-09-30.clover#customer_object-name), it’s automatically set to either the `business_name` or `individual_name`, prioritised in that order. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | | ---------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `business_name`, `individual_name` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer#create](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer#update](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### Ruby | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ---------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `business_name`, `individual_name` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer::CreateParams](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer::UpdateParams](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### Python | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ---------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `business_name`, `individual_name` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer.CreateParams](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer.ModifyParams](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### PHP | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ---------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `business_name`, `individual_name` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer.create().$params](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [Customer.update().$params](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### Java | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `businessName`, `individualName` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerCreateParams](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerUpdateParams](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### Node.js | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ---------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `business_name`, `individual_name` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerCreateParams](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerUpdateParams](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### Go | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | -------------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `BusinessName`, `IndividualName` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerParams](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | #### .NET | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | -------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `BusinessName`, `IndividualName` | Added | [Customer](/api/customers/object?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerCreateOptions](/api/customers/create?api-version=2025-09-30.clover), [CustomerUpdateOptions](/api/customers/update?api-version=2025-09-30.clover) | ## Upgrade #### REST API 1.
