Issue: When creating an order via the third‑party ShopifySharp library, setting shipping_address first_name to “Localised Ecomm” and last_name to “c/o Brandpath” resulted in Shopify storing first_name as “Localised” and last_name as “Ecomm c/o Brandpath,” effectively moving “Ecomm” to the last name. Billing address was first_name “Localised,” last_name “Ecomm,” suggesting possible name parsing/normalization.
Guidance: A responder noted ShopifySharp is not an official Shopify API library and recommended reporting the issue on its GitHub repository.
Outcome/Current status: The original poster found a practical workaround—do not populate the “Name” property when creating the order. This resolved the unexpected name splitting behavior for them.
Resolution: Partially resolved via workaround; no official root cause or fix from Shopify. Discussion implies the issue may stem from how the library or Shopify parses combined name fields, but this was not confirmed.
Hi!
When I try to create Order with shipping_address first_name:“Localised Ecomm” and last_name:“c/o Brandpath” by using ShopifySharp I get first_name:“Localised” and last_name:“Ecomm c/o Brandpath” in shopify. Why “Ecomm” part moved from first_name to the last_name? I read about autofilling names from billing address and maybe it will be helpfull: billing_address.first_name:“Localised”, billing_address.last_name:“Ecomm”.
Thank you!
Hi there 
This is not an official Shopify API library. You may want to flag this issue with them directly on their Github.
For future: Try not to fill “Name” property. It helped me.
