Steps
Create an Account Session via POST /v1/account_sessions with the connected account ID and the components you want to expose (e.g., payments, payouts, account_management).
Receive the client_secret from the response and pass it to your frontend.
On the frontend, initialize the Stripe Connect embedded components library using loadConnectAndInitialize with the publishable key and a function that fetches the client_secret from your server.
Mount the desired component (e.g., stripeConnectInstance.create('payments')) into a DOM element on your platform's dashboard.
Configure component options such as header visibility and default currency via the component's props.
Account Sessions expire — regenerate them when expired and handle re-initialization gracefully in your UI.
Known gotchas
Account Sessions are scoped to specific components — request only the components your UI needs; requesting unnecessary components increases surface area unnecessarily.
The client_secret must be fetched server-side and never hard-coded or cached in the browser; generate a new one per user session.
Embedded components render in a Stripe-hosted iframe for PCI compliance — do not attempt to extract or manipulate iframe internals.
