# Setting Up Stripe Identity in Fleetwire


## Connect Stripe Identity to Fleetwire

Fleetwire integrates with [Stripe Identity](https://stripe.com/identity), a powerful tool that helps you verify customer identities programmatically — improving trust, reducing fraud, and keeping your business secure.

To enable this integration, Stripe requires a **restricted API key** with specific permissions. Don’t worry — setup only takes a few minutes. Follow the steps below.

* * *

### ✅ Before You Begin

Make sure **Stripe Identity is enabled** on your account. You should be able to manually create a verification session in your [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/identity/verifications).

|| Some setup options won’t appear unless Stripe Identity is fully enabled, so ensure it’s active before continuing.

### 🔐 Step-by-Step: Create a Restricted API Key

1. Go to your [Stripe API Keys](https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys) page.
    
2. Click **Create restricted key**.
    
3. Name the key something like: `Fleetwire ID Key`.
    
4. Under the **All core resources** section:

* Set **Files** to **Write**
        
5. Scroll to the **Identity** section:
    
* Set **Verification Sessions and Reports** to **Write**
        
6. Click **Create key**
    Copy the new key (it should start with `rk_live_`) and paste it into the **Stripe Integration Settings** in Fleetwire:  
    [https://tenant.fleetwire.io/settings/providers#integrations](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/settings/providers#integrations)  
    Click **Save** — Fleetwire will encrypt and store it securely.

* * *

### 🔒 Add an IP Whitelist

7. In Stripe, open the menu (three dots) next to the new key and select **Manage IP restrictions**.
    Add this IP address:

```
138.68.28.176
```

Click **Add IP address**, then **Save**. You can leave the **CIDR** toggle off.

||| If “Manage IP restrictions” isn’t available, ensure Stripe Identity is enabled and that you’ve created at least one verification session.

* * *

### ⚙️ Final Permission Tweaks

8. Open the menu again and choose **Edit**.

* Set **Access recent detailed verification results** to **None**

* Set **Access all detailed verification results** to **Read**

* * *

### 🎉 You’re Done

Fleetwire can now create Stripe Identity sessions on your behalf, pull back verification reports, and display results within your reservations and customer profiles.
