React Native route.params is undefined

I’ve been trying to pass data from my home.js screen to my merchant.js screen by using navigation.navigate(‘Merchant’, store ) but when I try to actually use route.params I get undefined.

Here’s my home.js

export default function Home( { navigation }) {
...
{storeData.map(store => {
    return (
     <View>
      <TouchableOpacity>
        <Text style={styles.categoryName}
          onPress={() => {navigation.navigate('Merchant', store)}}>
         {store.name}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>

Merchant.js

function Merchant({ navigation, route }) {
    console.log(route);
...
}

Output:

{“key”: “Merchant-86K9u5ytF32VGMRcO9s2g”, “name”: “Merchant”, “params”: undefined}

Again I have no idea what is going on. I’ve tried navigation.push(), I’ve tried using navigate(‘Merchant’, {name: store.name}) but I still get undefined.

If you would like to paste more code with my stack navigation I can.
