At Sessions we showed new products, APIs, and enhancements for developers. Here’s a recap of everything we showed and links to the best places to learn more. 

## Stripe Workflows: automate business processes with a visual builder

Stripe has evolved into a comprehensive suite of tools that enable businesses to manage their entire financial infrastructure. Stripe Workflows allows you to build visual automation workflows that respond to real-time events, all without the need for extensive coding or additional infrastructure.

This powerful automation tool supports over 600 event triggers and includes features such as branching logic, dynamic fields, and built-in error handling. Businesses can automate a variety of tasks, from responding to fraud alerts and ensuring compliance for high-value transactions to simplifying bespoke subscription setups. 

Read more about the [launch of Stripe Workflows](https://stripe.dev) on the stripe.dev blog.

## Use Stripe MCP server for enhanced AI development

The Stripe [Model Context Protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol) (MCP) server is an essential resource for developers using AI-driven code editors like [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/) and [Windsurf](https://windsurf.com/editor), as well as general-purpose tools such as [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/login?returnTo=%2F%3F). With just one install command, you can enable LLM applications to access comprehensive documentation, account data, and real-time execution of the [Stripe API](https://docs.stripe.com/api). For instance, you can easily access Stripe docs and execute API calls directly within Cursor or send invoices through a simple conversation with Claude. 

Learn more about [Stripe’s MCP server](https://docs.stripe.com/building-with-llms#mcp) in the Stripe docs. 

## Add Stripe to agentic workflows

The adoption of agentic AI is rapidly transforming the landscape of application development, enabling automated interactions between users and technology. You can now integrate the Stripe agent toolkit into these new frameworks enhancing your agents’ functionality by enabling access to financial services and tools. Use cases include allowing your agents to help you earn and spend funds, facilitate common support operations, and bill for usage with metered billing. 

Learn more about the [Stripe agent toolkit](https://stripe.dev/blog/adding-payments-to-your-agentic-workflows).

## Streamline account management for Connect Platforms with Accounts v2

For the past decade, developers using multiple Stripe products \- such as [Payments](https://stripe.com/payments) or [Billing](https://stripe.com/billing) alongside Connect or Issuing \- had to manage separate records for each product, which involved handling multiple IDs and synchronizing data across these records. The updated Accounts v2 API enables a unified approach to user account management, allowing you to easily create and maintain connected accounts while simplifying onboarding and reducing redundancy. 

Learn more about [Accounts v2](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/accounts-v2/saas-platform-payments-billing) in the Stripe docs. 

## Customize user onboarding with fully-localized Connect Mobile Embedded Components

[Stripe Connect](https://stripe.com/connect) embedded components are pre-built, customizable user interfaces that allow you to integrate Stripe’s Connect functionality directly into your platform’s product surfaces. Stripe’s fully-localized user onboarding is now available for iOS and Android as an embedded component. You can add this key flow to your apps with just a few lines of code. 

Fun fact: Stripe’s own mobile app onboarding experience was built by a small engineering team using these components\! 

Get started with mobile embedded onboarding for [iOS](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/get-started-connect-embedded-components?platform=ios) and [Android](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/get-started-connect-embedded-components?platform=android). 

## Payment Element now supports the Checkout Sessions API 

[Stripe Checkout](https://stripe.com/gb/payments/checkout) makes it easy to get started, but as your business grows, you sometimes need more flexibility. The Payment Element now works with the Checkout Sessions API– providing [Elements’ UI](https://stripe.com/gb/payments/elements) flexibility with Checkout’s simplicity and built-in features like A/B testing and [Adaptive Pricing](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/adaptive-pricing?locale=en-GB).  
   
Learn more about [Payment Elements \+ CheckoutSessions API](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-element) in the Stripe docs.

## New UI components for Stripe Apps 

With [Stripe Apps’](https://stripe.com/apps) new features, you can create experiences that feel native within the Stripe Dashboard. Create a detailed onboarding journey with a full screen modal or bring app data directly into dashboard pages. No longer are Stripe Apps constrained to the drawer. 

Sign up to gain access to the [new preview app components and capabilities](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/build-ui#see-also). 

## Test Stripe functionality in an isolated environment with Sandboxes

Stripe Sandboxes are now generally available (GA), offering developers a robust and secure environment to test and refine their applications without the risk of real money movement. With sandboxes, you can simulate payment processing, test webhooks, and explore various scenarios without impacting your live data. You can create up to five sandboxes for free, enabling your team to work in isolated environments and iterate on different features or versions before going live.

Get started with [Sandboxes](https://docs.stripe.com/sandboxes).

## Share customers and payment methods across your Organization

Last year Stripe launched [Organizations](https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-organizations-powering-the-worlds-most-complex-businesses) to help manage complex business structures by bringing together multiple teams, partners, and accounts under a single umbrella. Now, in response to one of our most requested features, you can automatically share customer data and payment methods across multiple business lines within your Organization, eliminating the need for custom code to synchronize data between objects. Additionally, sandboxes now support Organizations, allowing you to test end-to-end across accounts within your Organization. This functionality enables you to deliver a seamless and unified experience for your customers across your entire organization. 

Learn more about [resource sharing](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/orgs/sharing/customers-payment-methods) in the Stripe docs. 

## And one more thing… 

Stripe documentation is now fully conversational. You now have an AI assistant for docs.stripe.com that’s aware of the page you’re reading and has access to all Stripe documentation and internal knowledge base. While you read, you can ask clarifying questions about specific parts of the documentation. For instance, instead of navigating to another page or site to learn more about a topic, you can highlight a sentence, paragraph, or snippet of code and initiate a conversation with the AI assistant about that particular content. This should make reading and navigating our docs and, ultimately, building your Stripe integration much easier.  

Navigate to [docs.stripe.com](http://docs.stripe.com) and push cmd+i to use the assistant.
