I am trying to add a card, but as title says, it responds with an error saying:  
Error: order.customer.personalInformation.name.firstName: FIELD\_LENGTH\_INVALID

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using the website, Android app, or iOS app? If using an app then which version? (☰ \> Settings \> Version)

Did you register using the Google/Facebook button, or through Gameflip (username+password registration)?

When adding the credit card, did you put your full name in the “Card Holder” field?

In case it’s a problem with the website, you could try using the [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijji.gameflip) or [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/app/gameflip-buy-sell-video-games/id970274077) app to add the card: ☰ \> Settings \> Payment Method. Then you should be able to use it on either platform.

Please check [https://gameflip.com/settings](https://gameflip.com/settings) and on the “First Name” and “Last Name” do they look correct? Is the “First Name” field empty, or has a space in it?
