Meal vouchers in France require a restaurant to complete an onboarding process before it can [accept French meal vouchers payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/meal-vouchers/fr-meal-vouchers/accept-a-payment.md). This guide shows how to onboard a restaurant using the Stripe Dashboard or API.

Before you set up a restaurant on Stripe, you must obtain a license from [Commission Nationale des Titres-Restaurant](https://www.cntr.fr/) (CNTR) and contract with each of the French meal vouchers issuers you want to support.

> Stripe currently only supports Bimpli, Pluxee, and Up Déjeuner French meal vouchers.

> The Stripe API for onboarding restaurants to accept French meal vouchers payments is in preview and is only available for select preview users. Contact us at fr-meal-voucher-beta@stripe.com to join the preview and use the API.

## Onboard the restaurant

#### Dashboard

1. Go to the [French meal vouchers SIRETs page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods/fr_meal_vouchers_sirets).
1. Click **Add SIRET**.
1. Enter a SIRET, postal code, and store name. The SIRET and postal code you provide must match for the restaurant to be onboarded successfully.
1. Click **Confirm**.

The SIRET is a French tax identifier used with the postal code to find the restaurant’s license.

After you submit your onboarding request, it takes 1–2 business days to validate your details and confirm the issuers you can accept payments from.

You can’t modify the restaurant’s name and SIRET after creation.
