IP Address Forwarding
Best practices on handling the original IP address for a transaction.
Some payment service providers will require the IP address of the buyer to be sent to them for anti fraud purposes.
Embed
By default, when using Embed the IP address of the buyer will be passed to the payment service automatically by us where needed.
Server-to-server
When you are creating transactions on behalf of a buyer via your own server
without the use of Embed, you can pass the IP address of the buyer to us via
the X-Forwarded-For header.
curl --header "X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.0.2" https://api.example.gr4vy.app/...
We will automatically accept this header and pass it to the payment service where needed.
Not all endpoints pass the IP address to a connector. It is recommended to send the IP address whenever it is available.
