Connect Mercado Pago
Mercado Pago is a payment processor for businesses selling across Latin America, supporting Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay, Peru, Brazil, and El Salvador.
Connect your account
- Go to Payments > Integrations and select Mercado Pago.
- In your Mercado Pago developer dashboard, retrieve your production Public Key and Access Token.
- Enter those credentials in Vendi Today, select your account's country, and generate a webhook secret.
- In Mercado Pago's developer panel, add the production webhook URL provided during setup.
- Assign Mercado Pago to the specific channels you want it to handle — order forms, invoices, payment links, and so on — and toggle Live or Test mode as needed.
Only production credentials process real charges; test credentials won't move real money even in a live checkout.
Things to plan around
- Products should be priced in the same currency as your Mercado Pago account to avoid mismatches at checkout.
- Only one Mercado Pago checkout element can be active on a single page at a time.
- For subscriptions and recurring charges, your account needs CVV-less support enabled on Mercado Pago's side.
- Card transactions have regional minimum amounts — check Mercado Pago's requirements for your country before assuming a small-ticket item will process.
