Integrate the Express Dashboard in your platform
Allow your connected accounts to access the Express Dashboard using login links.
This guide tells you how to implement login links that redirect your connected accounts from your platform to their Express Dashboard. Connected accounts can use the Express Dashboard to view their available balance, see upcoming payouts, and track their earnings in real time.

Redirect to the login link
Typically, you generate a login link URL any time a connected account intends to visit the Express Dashboard. For example, if you add an Open Dashboard button in your app, when a connected account clicks the button, your application calls the Login Link API to generate a login link and redirects them to the URL.
Warning
Only redirect users to login links from within your platform. Don’t share them externally through email, text, or other channels for security purposes.
When you redirect a connected account to a login link, Stripe sends an authentication code to their email address or their phone number by SMS. They verify their identity on the Express Dashboard login page by entering the authentication code.
If they don’t have access to their account phone number, they can request to change the phone number in the Express Dashboard login page. They must click I no longer have access to this phone number for Stripe to send a verification code to their account email. After they enter the code, they can change the account phone number. After they update their number, Stripe redirects them to the Express Dashboard login page and sends an SMS authentication code to the new number.
