How to get name of purchaser from credit or debit card

I just got the square contactless reader and used it for the first time. I don't see how, on the dashboard, to see the names of the people making payments - only the last 4 digits of the card used are shown. Doesn't the card include their name, and don't you record that information for us to see? Since what we are using this for is donations to our non-profit group, we want to know who made those donations so we can record donations in a database and thank them later, without having to separately write down each person's name as they are making the payment via Square!

Hi @TorontoOasis

 

The cardholder’s name associated with a purchase is only available for transactions where the payment card was swiped or dipped using the latest version of the Square Reader.

 

You can view this information in your Square Dashboard Transactions tab by clicking on the specific payment. 

 

You can also add customer information to a sale to help you or your customer recall a transaction.
