I'm in a similar boat and getting customers to whitelist IPs is always a big ask. In the best case they call their "tech guy", in the worst case it's a department far away and it has to go through 3 layers of reviews for someone to adapt some Cloudflare / Akamai rules.
And then you better make sure your IP is stable and a cloud provider isn't changing any IP assignments in the future, where you'll then have to contact all your clients again with that ask.
They're mostly non-technical/marketing people, but yes that would be a solution. I try to solve the issue "behind the scenes" so for them it "just works", but that means building all of these extra measures.
Would it make sense to advertise to the more technical minded a discount if they set up an IP whitelist with a tutorial you could provide ? A discount in exchange for reduced costs to you ?
