# Express Dashboard

Learn about the features of the Express Dashboard.

The Express Dashboard is a user interface that’s available to your platform’s connected accounts. They can use the Express Dashboard to monitor their available balance, view upcoming *payouts*, and track their earnings in real time. This guide outlines the features of the Express Dashboard and how your connected accounts can access it.

## Express Dashboard features

The Express Dashboard displays the connected account’s balance transactions and net volume.

### Transactions list

The **Transactions** list displays a connected account’s balance transactions, including charges, transfers, and payouts. The **Transactions** list organizes each transaction by type, date, and amount. By default, it displays generic descriptions of charges and transfers, such as `Payment from {YOUR PLATFORM}`. To learn how to create custom descriptions, see [Customize the Express Dashboard](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/customize-express-dashboard.md).

### Earnings chart

The **Earnings** chart displays the net volume of the account’s charges and transfers over time. They can select different time intervals to view.

## Accessing the Express Dashboard

There are two ways to access the Express Dashboard, login links and self-service. We recommend using login links.

### Platform login links 

You can generate single-use account-specific login links that redirect connected accounts from your platform application to the Express Dashboard login page. They then log into the Dashboard using SMS authentication.

To learn about using login links, see [Integrate the Express Dashboard in your platform](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/integrate-express-dashboard.md).

### Self-serve access 

Connected accounts can access the Express Dashboard by logging into [Stripe Express](https://connect.stripe.com/express_login) using their account email and SMS authentication.

Only live mode accounts can log into Stripe Express. For testing, use [login links](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/integrate-express-dashboard.md).

To learn more about self-serve access, see the [Stripe Express support article](https://support.stripe.com/express/questions/how-do-i-login-to-my-stripe-express-account).

## Supported browsers

The Express Dashboard supports the same browsers that the [full Stripe Dashboard supports](https://docs.stripe.com/dashboard/basics.md). Express users must access the Dashboard in a web browser, not in embedded web views inside mobile or desktop applications.
