Stripe Dashboard mobile app

You can also accept in-person payments (such as Tap to Pay), create payment links, basic invoices, and subscriptions.

Limitations
The app only displays live mode transactions, and mobile app users can’t use test mode or view test data. Stripe users with the View only role can’t create payments, refunds, or payouts in the app. Inactive Stripe accounts and users with the Support specialist role can’t log in to the app. For more information, see User roles.
Monitor business metrics
The app’s home page has various charts providing account information. You can customise this page to stay informed about your financial data.
The Dashboard displays data in your default currency. If you receive payments in multiple currencies, Stripe home charts convert these to your default currency using sample exchange rates. These conversions are estimates and won’t exactly match with settled amounts because of fluctuating exchange rates.

To explore and manage available charts for iOS:
- Tap Edit next to the Reports overview title.
- Add, remove, or reorder charts as needed.
To explore and manage available charts for Android:
- On the Home tab, scroll down to the bottom, and click Add or edit charts.
- Add, remove, or reorder charts as needed.
Push notifications

- Open the Stripe Dashboard mobile app on your device and log in.
- Go to the Balances tab at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, you can tap the plus symbol () at the top right of any tab and select Pay out funds.

- Complete your payout. The time it takes for funds to settle in the bank account depends on several factors, including whether you select a standard or instant payout:
- Standard payouts: The time it takes for funds to appear in your account depends on your industry, country, and whether it’s your first payout. It takes around 7 days for funds to settle in the applicable bank account for your first payout.
