Platform controls in the Stripe Dashboard

Thousands of platforms and marketplaces use Stripe Connect to facilitate payments and pay out recipients. Connected accounts with Stripe Dashboard access is the fastest way to enable your customers to accept payments directly, while relying on Stripe to manage onboarding, reporting, and loss liability. With platform controls, you can manage more features on behalf of your connected accounts.

Configure third party extensions

Third party extensions allow your connected accounts to operate the Stripe API on their behalf in a particular workflow. Navigate to the third-party extensions page to select the options for your connected accounts. These options apply to all of your new connected accounts moving forward. Visit the Connected accounts page to change settings for individual connected accounts.

There are three extension access options:

• Full access, allowing read and write operations. Learn about revoking before enabling.
• Read-only
• None, blocking all extension installations

When your platform owns loss liability, you can’t enable full access extensions, which could let connected accounts initiate transactions that you don’t control.

Revoke full access extensions

You can revoke access to install new full access extensions. This doesn’t prevent a connected account from using a previously installed extension. Stripe doesn’t support revoking extensions from your connected accounts.

Control payout timing

As the platform, you can now update your connected accounts’ payouts programmatically using the Stripe API or in the Dashboard. You can also initiate payouts on behalf of your connected accounts programmatically using the Stripe API or in the Dashboard.

Navigate to the payout schedules page to determine whether connected accounts can manage their own payout schedules. Connected accounts can still make manual payouts after you, as the platform, choose to restrict connected accounts from updating their own payout schedule.

Access consolidated reporting

You can access reporting across all connected accounts that you control using the built in-Dashboard reporting as well as within Stripe Sigma, a custom reporting solution that makes all of your data available as an interactive SQL environment in the Dashboard. To learn more, see Financial reports and Sigma for Connect platforms.

Co-brand your connected accounts

As the platform, you can manage your brand settings within the Connect Settings > Stripe Dashboard section. All new accounts onboarding to your platform will see your icon and branding color in their Dashboard. To understand changes for connected accounts, see the Stripe Support article on platform controls.

Remove accounts

You can disconnect a connected account from its account details page in your Dashboard. Click the overflow menu () on the top right of the page, then select Remove account.

This action disconnects the account from your platform and revokes access in the same way as the OAuth de-authorize endpoint. Removing an account from your platform also permanently resets all platform controls on the account, such as payout timing, even if the account reconnects later. It doesn’t otherwise affect the account, which still functions as a normal Stripe account.
