# Allowlist IPs

> To protect your API payouts from malicious attacks, it is mandatory to allowlist the IPs that you use for all payout related API requests (such as create contact, fund account, payout, fund account validation, payout links and so on). If an API request is received from an IP outside the allowlist, the request will fail.

<Warning>
  **Watch Out!**

  * IP Allowlisting is applicable only in Live Mode.
  * Only the Owner or Admin of the account can allowlist IPs.

  Watch the video to see how to allowlist your IPs or read along.

  * Currently, IP Allowlisting is only applicable for Payouts APIs (including Contacts and Fund Accounts), Payout Link APIs and Fund Account Validation requests. It is not applicable for Vendor payments, Payroll and Dashboard payouts.
  * If you wish to allowlist your IPs for making API Payouts but the option is not visible on your dashboard, [contact support](/x/support#razorpayx-users).
  * If you are using dynamic IPs for API payouts and Fund Account Validations, [contact support](/x/support#razorpayx-users).
  * If you are using PG APIs and want to allowlist your PG calls, [contact support](/payments/dashboard/support#registered-razorpay-users).
