# phoneticGivenName

The phonetic spelling of the contact’s given name.

```
DOMString phoneticGivenName;
```

## Discussion

Typically, you use phonetic names for transactions in Japan.

If your site requires the contact’s phonetic name, include this field in the [`requiredBillingContactFields`](/documentation/ApplePayontheWeb/ApplePayPaymentRequest/requiredBillingContactFields) or [`requiredShippingContactFields`](/documentation/ApplePayontheWeb/ApplePayPaymentRequest/requiredShippingContactFields) in your payment request.

Available in Apple Pay version 3.
