Express Dashboard
The Express Dashboard is a user-interface available to your platform’s users (connected accounts). They can use the Express Dashboard to view their available balance, see upcoming payouts, and track their earnings in real time. In this guide, we explain the features of the Express Dashboard and how your users can access it.
Note
The Express Dashboard is mainly available to users of platforms that create Express connected accounts. If you want to create Express connected accounts, see Using Connect with Express Accounts. If you want to learn about other types of connected accounts, see Choose your account type.
Express Dashboard features
The Express Dashboard displays the user account’s balance transactions and net volume.
Activity feed
The Activity feed displays a user account’s balance transactions (charges, transfers, and payouts). The Activity feed organizes each balance transaction by type, date, and amount. By default, the Activity feed displays generic descriptions of charges and transfers, such as Payment from {YOUR PLATFORM}. To learn more about setting custom descriptions, see Customize the Express Dashboard.
Earnings chart
The Earnings chart is a line graph that displays the net volume of a user’s account. The chart tracks the net volume of charges and transfers over time. Users can choose to view the net volume over the past 24 hours, 7 days, 4 weeks, 3 months, year, or the account’s lifetime.
Accessing the Express Dashboard
There are two ways users can access the Express Dashboard. Both methods of access require the user to complete Two-Step authentication.
Platform link access
We recommend adding a link on your platform that redirects users to the Express Dashboard login page. For example, your users can log into their Express Dashboard by clicking a link (such as a button) on your platform’s website or mobile application.
When users click your link, Stripe redirects the user to the Express Dashboard login page. On this page, users must verify their identity through SMS authentication to view their Express Dashboard. Stripe uses SMS authentication to confirm a user’s identity and grant authorized access to their Express Dashboard.
To learn more about creating this platform link, see Integrate the Express Dashboard.
Self-serve access
Note
This option is only available for livemode Express accounts. For testing, please create a login link instead.
Your users can also access the Express Dashboard by signing in directly to Stripe Express. They must complete Two-Step authentication to view their Express Dashboard.
First, they must sign into Stripe Express with their connected account email. Then, Stripe sends a SMS verification code to the mobile number your platform used to create their Express Account. Your users must enter the SMS verification code to access their Express Dashboard.
